openvpn

I've openvpn installed on the rooted droid x 2.2. The problem I have is that even though openvpn says it's connected to the vpn server. The external ip shows that I'm not. Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I'm using the tun.ko module from this forum.

During rooting the SGS I stupidly didn't UN-check the reboot the first time Odin is run. When I'd finished all the instrctions I find it will not boot up but goes back to the recovery page.

Has anyone any ideas how it can be fixed please?

extract and copy update.zip to internal sd-card of your phone

- run odin with auto reboot UN-checked, loading the i9000_Kernel.tar as PDA

- put the phone into download mode and flash the i9000_Kernel.tar

- pull the battery. reboot into recovery mode and flash the update.zip you put in the root folder of your sdcard.

- pull the battery again, reboot into download mode again.

- run odin with auto reboot checked, loading the I9000XXJPH_KERNEL.tar as PDA
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
if you already frashed successfully

just unplug and turn off the phone by holding the power button

once completely off

push the power button again and it will go into normal boot
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAKFOTO:
Thanks for the help. I managed to reflash and everything is OK now. Got me worried for a few hours. I've tried to root it again but it jams on download. I'm leaving it alone for the moment.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bgarlock:
Hey all, I tried searching for this subject, but was surprised to not find much. Anyway, I'll be on my 4th replacement Eris (all defective trackballs so far) and I am tired of getting everything back the way I want it.

I'm running KaosFroyo 35-1 (so of course I'm rooted), and I have Titanium Backup, but I wanted to try out a clone/backup at the block level.

Has anyone done this? Any HowTo's? If not, I'll write one up (if I decide to go this route) I'm just really surprised there isn't more "forensic" level stuff about Android. Using google-fu I came across some posts, but not much in the way of hard information.

Being a Linux sysAdmin, I always use 'dd', or some of the forks of 'dd' to do this on filesystems mounted R/O. Being a noob to Android, I should be able to use my "standard" Linux tools through 'adb' to accomplish this, correct?

Many thanks,

Bruce

PS - On another note, Verizon says if my next Eris breaks, they will replace it with a different model. I kind of feel that it's a matter of time, so I've been thinking Droid Incredible or Droid2. Probably the Incredible, because one the major reasons I got the Eris over the original Droid was the form factor, and "sleekness". It just feels nice :-)

nandroid backup?
[Droid Eris Android Development] oceanminded:
Yeah, there was some thread a while ago on AF about moving a nandroid backup to another phone. I think you just had to change a file name or two.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If you use clockwork mod recovery (with or without rom manager) it doesn't matter what folder you keep your nandroids in, you can restore it anyway. I've been happy with it for about a month. No bugs.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bgarlock:
Thanks.. I'll check out doing this with a nandroid backup...
[Droid Eris Android Development] jadesdan:
I just got a new Eris yesterday. Did a nandroid backup on the old one and restored it on the new one. Although, I did have to Nand restore via adb.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome. I should've mentioned that although I wasn't using clockwork mod recovery when I traded Eris's at Verizon due to the trackball going left all the time and my speaker dying, I did as a previous person above suggested and renamed the folder my previous nandroid was in once I did a nandroid on the new phone and found out what folder name it would use on the new phone.

It's just so much easier just dealing with clockwork, though. Being able to flash roms and things from any folder I want is great for the organization of the (dare I use the word root in a different context?) SD card.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bgarlock:
My Nandroid restore worked great! The only thing you really have to do from going from one phone to another is to rename the folder which is essentially the phones serial number. On mine:

'cd /sdcard/nandroid/'

'mv HY9Bxxxxxxxx HT03xxxxxxxx'

then through recovery, the restore will work. Failing to change the name of the folder to the phones current serial number will cause the restore to fail.

Now my phone is just like it was when I performed the nandroid backup, but my trackball fully works!

Wonder if I can get a week out of this one :-)

Next phone is going to be without a trackball - that's for sure.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
That's good news! This is my second Eris. I've had it for maybe two months and just last night the trackball started straying on it's own like the last one. My first one only lasted two months although by then the speaker had quit, too.
[Droid Eris Android Development] joshw0000:
If you're going to get a new phone and you're big into rooting and modifying I suggest reading the XDA forums about each phone. I did some research for a friend about a month or so ago and their is a lot of development for the Incredible. (At the time) the D2 was not rooted, the DX was rooted but their were no custom roms available. If I had my choice it would be the Droid X or the new Samsung Fascinate (super skinny and light weight).

I have cm6, rooted via simpleROOT. Hboot 0.76.2000, and NANDunlocked

I updated to Clockwork 2.5.0.1

I can only seem to boot to CM6 Roms including nightlys. And I cannot ACTIVATE my phone with CM6, I have my MSL but they dont work with the dialpad.

Need to know what to do here, Ive had my previous EVO that was activated, but took it off because the employee plan didnt allow it. I had an insurance claim on it so I got a new one and decided to wait until they allowed it on employee plans. ( which is today)

I was using the phone unactivated and tied to wifi for the last few months now ( can do everything except call/text/gps) However now that its allowed on an account I want to do everything else with it. I installed CM6 because I need an HID profile for keyboard/mouse/wii remote ( works great as a portable emulator entertainment center)

From what I understand I need to go to a stock rom or stock rooted rom to activate. Ive downloaded the following:

OMJ_EVO_2.2 - Error 7

CM6 Nightly sept 23- Installs but cant activate

CM6 RC1- Installs but cant activate

Fresh-Evo 3.3- error writing recovery: No space left on device

SteelROM-error writing recovery: No space left on device xda

Evo-Froyo-2.2 Rooted Stock Odexed- error writing recovery: No space left on device xda

BakedSnack 1.7: error writing recovery: No space left on device xda

So.. Before EVERY FLASH:

Ive cleared dalvik cache, wiped ALL PARTITIONS, Cleared cache, Wiped all data, went under advanced and cleared everything except the sd card, ive swapped sd cards.

Wtf is going on here.

Why will only CM6 roms install but NO OTHERS will?

Also I have never messed around with Kernels..

When i originally rooted it was in August.. Used the Simpleroot program 1.47 i believe, i was already on 2.1 and went immediately to cm6 and have been there since.

Im seriously at the point where I will paypal someone 5 bucks if you can give a solition that will work and I can stay rooted.

Just tried rooted_stock.zip

Got this:

E: Error finishing BOOT:

Have you tried to use Amon's RA Recovery to flash your ROMs? You can flash RA Recovery via ROM Manager. Just open ROM Manager and then scroll to the bottom and press Flash Alternate Recovery. After that, try flashing a ROM again and let's see what happens this time. Just remember - with RA you need to keep your zip files on the root of your SDcard. Maybe this will work out for you, maybe it won't. Good luck.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaosrecords:
Yes im going through the process of flashing every rom now with RA recovery

Im getting Error Writing Boot: Failure at line 82 for Supersonic-mynOTA

Did OMJ_EVO and got Failure at line 85 Error writing boot no space left on device.

This is ****ing annoying.

I dont think its possible that i downloaded 8 bad roms and magically CM installs fine any nightly from june till current is no problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaosrecords:
So i got RA recovery to get fresh-evo to ALMOST install..

It will write

set permissions

as soon as it get to boot.img i get :

assert failed: write_raw_image ("/tmp boot.img".

E: Error in /sdcard fresh-evo-3.3.0.1.zip

(status 7)

It appears that EVERY ROM except anything from Cyanogen will screw up when it gets to the boot.img

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaosrecords:
Fixed my issue.

I had to reinstall everything as if i was going the root method to get a stock 2.1 rom on there. PC36IMG method

Thank god i saved my simpleroot and old roms when i originally rooted.

I think I successfully installed the new update last night.

But everytime I reboot the phone, this same message keeps popping up.

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

Congratualtions!

New software is update for phone is installed.

Phone is ready for use.

*When I click Software Update again, it says "No Firmware"

*My phone also tries to connect to DM server right after every single boot

*My phone was never rooted, never tempered with.

There is something wrong with the update. Will this message go away in time?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hkk:
I am seeing the same thing. I think I've seen it 4 or 5 times by now. Will try a few times, to see how many times more it does that.

btw, mine's rooted, with stock firmware.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommae:
I rebooted at least 20 more times but the msg still pops up . Mine has never been rooted btw.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hkk:
The problem isn't just the message.the update is being downloaded and installed everytime I reboot. In one instance, I was in the basement with bad signal, and it took about 30mins before it finished the update - and all that time, it wouldn't let me go past the password screen (my corporate acct requires me to have a password on the device).

So, is it just the 3 or 4 of us with this problem?

Could you explain the 3-button trick?

Thnx.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topgun303:
If u are getting the message that.....your update was installed successfully.... after ever reboot of the phone. In order to get rid of this message you need to dial this code from your phone. Code is *2767*3855# (be aware that code will factory format you phone so what this means is that u will loose every thing on the phone. For example: downloaded apps etc. I got this advise from samsung level 3 tech support. I did this on my brothers stock samsung captivate not rooted or anything, just stock. Also i am not responsible for anything that happens to u phone due to being rooted or whatever when preforming factory format. Backup u stuff like contacts or whatever.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brynn85:
Turn your phone off, then press both the up & down volume buttons (hold them in) then press and hold in the power button as well. Continue holding all 3 until the ATT logo shows up, then let go of the power button, and a few seconds later, let go of the volume buttons. Your phone should boot up into a recovery console with blue letters. You'll use the up/down volume & power buttons to navigate this. But to do a reboot, I believe it's the first option and it will tell you to press the power button to "select" it...

May wanna try that before doing a whole format of your phone, but can't promise it'll work :-/ I just know mine quit doing after about 5 times and I'm pretty sure at some point between those times, I did this recovery thing just to see if my buttons worked (as some reported they couldn't get this to happen for them)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
There are no RUUs. It's Nexus.

Wipe data, cache and Dalvik-cache on your phone (it erases ALL the data) through recovery, and test it again. If it still fails with no apps installed - you have a hardware problem, send it for replacement. If not - put on it a custom ROM of your choice, wipe everything, and enjoy.

All the relevant guides are in Nexus One Wiki.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XSafire:
Basically ROM's like MIUI and Sense have an additional custom shell built over the OS, and if an app asks the shell for any information, then the app can't run without the shell. Stock based ROM's don't have a custom shell built over it, and so most apps from MIUI and sense cannot be ported.

It would potentially be possible to take portions of the shell that an app uses and add it to a stock based ROM, but this would require a lot of troubleshooting on the dev's part and would add a ton of bloat to the OS, and as N1 users, we don't have much space left.

So in short, no it's probably never going to happen.

Hi All

I rooted my HTC desire 8183 following the instructions of this page:

theunlockr.com/2010/09/21/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-htc-desire-2/

Everything went through OK, so I went ahead and downloaded the following mod:

android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/307881/27-may-r3-1-modaco-custom-rom-for-htc-desire-with-online-kitchen-2-1-eclair/

Version R3.1

I then following these instructions to install it:

theunlockr.com/2010/09/21/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-htc-desire-2/

However, I accidently 'wiped the cache' along with the dalvik cache. Then, after I had loaded the ZIP from the SD card, the phone won't start. It loads the initial Telstra provider startup screen. After this it is black with two blue lines running vertically on the left and right edges. Nothing more, and it stays like this. It no longer is recognised by windows to access the SD card.

Any ideas what might be wrong and how I can fix it?

Many thanks, any help will be greatly appreciated!

You do have a custom recovery image, right?

- Well, start your phone in recovery

- Wipe everything and mount USB-storage

- Download a new ROM and put it on the root

- Flash the new ROM

Btw: unrEVOked & ROM Manager is the easiest way to root and install a recovery image.

[Networking] dubeysaurabh:
Hi,

I have a T-Mobile USA HTC HD2, currently running only Windows Mobile (haven't reached Android yet - unrelated).

My company policy prevents me from connecting to Microsoft Exchange through ActiveSync. It uses RSA SecurID for webmail (OWA), and offers Blackberry connectivity separately.

T-Mobile HD2 does not support Blackberry Connect. (Am I wrong here?)

But, they still offer connectivity to Treo through a separate server. I don't know how is that happening without ActiveSync.

My post is basically to get information regarding these questions.

1. Does T-Mobile HTC HD2 support Blackberry Connect?

2. What possible different method (other than Microsoft Exchange) is there to allow a Treo to connect to Exchange?

3. What can I do (without buying a Blackberry or Treo) to connect to the network?

Any suggestions or guidance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks and regards,

Saurabh Dubey

I'm currently using a Vibrant (rooted, flashed, blah blah) but I've been looking into getting an HD2 to play with now that they're going for dirt cheap on craigslist. Before I do this, could anyone tell me if there are any 100% functional android roms out? I had an hd2 when it first came out, and wasn't a winmo fan. At all. But now that there's been a lot of progress made, I'm willing to give it another try.
[HD2 General] Ryan79:
No... there are currently no Android ROMs for the HD2. you still need a Windows Mobile ROM and run Android off of the SD

Please refer to the Android Development section in the other HD2 area for Android builds and news regarding Android development.
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
Nope, there is no a 100% working build yet. All android builds have users reporting SOD, long wake up time, and other issues like low in call volume levels.
[HD2 General] OHHitsKB:
Alright, thank you both. As for winmo, one of my main concerns was the lag in texting, using sense, etc. Have any steps been taken to improve these issues? I would search the forums if I could, but I'm getting a pretty lousy connection here in my building. Also, I didn't get very good 3g on my HD2. Have any connection fixes come out?
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
To answer your questions, No and Yes(Maybe). Texting through the HTC client is still as slow as ever, but if you disable it and use the regular WinMo text program everything is gravy. And the connection issues are probobly just your area, but you can always flash a new Radio ROM and see if it helps any.
[HD2 General] SugarMouth:
Wow are stories are exactly the same! I had a HD2 the first week they came out then sold it because of WinMo. I also bought a Vibrant and still have it (Rooted and playing with ROMS). I now bought a HD2 to play with and experiment with ROMS and Android on it.

[HD2 General] jimbonics:
I can tell you that there is an offical 3.15 tmo rom out there as a RC. I've put it on several phones and so far can state that it has cured all problems we've experienced with the HD2.

I need to test swype+text tho, forgot about that one!!
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Official 3.15 ROM eh? Where is the link?
[HD2 General] jimbonics:
Actually it's 3.14, and still officially in testing phase, although it's more of a release candidate. Splash screen says "Test, not for sale" and all that.

So "official" was a bad choice of a word, but I did get it directly from TMO.
[HD2 General] kmdub:
I too own the Vibrant and got an HD2 to play around with. The HD2 is nice, but I love my Vibrant, and would never use the HD2 as a primary phone until a complete Android port is available. Nice hardware, just a POS OS. I am curious to see what the update brings to WinMo on the HD2. It goes without saying that I am anxiously awaiting a 100% functional Droid ROM on this thing.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
See, its people like this that bring WinMo down for no reason. WinMo, especially on the HD2 is no "POS OS". WinMo runs circles around Android as far as compatability and open-ness is concerned. Android may look "nicer"(if looking like Ubuntu is nice...), but WinMo has it where it counts...*cough no rooting to access file system cough*.
[HD2 General] kmdub:
You are joking right? Anyway...didn't mean to offend anyone. The HD2 is a nice phone.
