I don't have root. All I did was install ADB on my computer, used PdaNet install to install the drivers, and now I don't have a data connection on my phone! I tried restarting my phone, battery pull... I don't know what to do!!! Help, please?!

EDIT:

[SOLVED] Apparently, it was the PdaNet app on my phone that was messing up the connection. I uninstalled it, restarted the phone, and there was the connection. Sorry for the false alarm.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
Hahahahha! I do the same damn thing... only on my downtime, of course;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] rhcp011235:
P.S. who ever the op is here. Please UPDATE the OP! so we dont have to read 36 pages to find things. thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] G1rome:
So on wifi calling can we call long distance for free? Like overseas
[G2 and Desire Z General] tankmorph:
No. All the wifi calling is good for is using wifi to make the connection to T-Mobile when you don't have a cell connection. However you may be able to initiate and receive wifi calls FROM overseas locations and just use your regular minutes. Not certain on that point yet.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tankmorph:
I'm pretty much just a babysitter, so unless a machine is broken, or an operator can't figure something out, I tend to have A LOT of downtime. :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] acis:
This is correct and you can infact connect to wifi overseas and make a call back to the US with the result being that it only counts against your minutes.
[G2 and Desire Z General] thynk:
Sounds like you need to read the BOFH chronicles over on the register. Just like I need to find a link to this OTA for manual update, I get abyssal reception and go on call tomorrow at noon. Tick-tock tmo, tick-tock.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
Ah... you must be IT the dept guy like me. I just got promoted to the director, sweet! Not much more pay but more free time minus the extra couple hours a week, no biggie though.

Why has no one posted an ota link or zip yet? If you get the update notif... please pm me or one the other senior members. In fact... if you are serious.... Start a nebe mostw thread. We need the darn thing. And also... a log will more helpful if you connected to adb shell. We might get a few extra additions to the log while it is power cycling to and from recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tankmorph:
I used to be systems analyst and work IT, but I'm a mechanic at a factory now. Same idea, just more hands-on. I ended up getting busy this morning after all.

I can't believe we haven't got an update zip or an address to the google servers for the update. It must be just these couple of folks on here that got the "test" ota update. I think we're just gonna have to wait a few days. Its hard not to obsess over it though. First thing I need to do is remove my instant notification subscription to this thread! AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!

Sorry. I just had to get that out of my system. :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
I know how you feel. Heck, the thread turned into an adb discussion anyways, lol. Now we are talking about work. Oh well, like you said... its probably just a few test otas. I remember how they did that recently for the MTS. And a week later... the otas started pushing out to the masses. I wish someone with some experience got the ota so we could have it early and to test for exploits towards root access. Oh well... I guess we wait.
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
All in due time...
[G2 and Desire Z General] KeithRVA:
All this for an update to an 8 day old phone hardly any one owns yet. Imagine the hysteria when Gingerbread ota starts rolling out and everyone has a G2. I'm stocking up on dry goods now :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] ryaninc:
Haha, I know, right? Feels kind of nostalgic, actually...reminds me of the G1 updates back in the day. "WHERE'S MY CUPCAKE!? I DON'T HAVE CUPCAKE YET!" :rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z General] rmcsc:
Funny. I upgrade from the mT3G to the G2 and now I'm anxiously awaiting an update on both phones.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
Whats funny is android users live and die for updates... and iPhone users avoid them like the plague so as not to lose their jailbreak lol

Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using telepathy and unicorn dust!
[G2 and Desire Z General] rmcsc:
Yeah, I was thinking about that the other day. Updates are welcome here, because we know that the modders (eg. cyanogen) will do their best to give them to us. On iOS, it's always different.

I have a friend who runs an iPhone blog. It's funny to see how, when updates come, he always has to say "Do not upgrade to the latest version, otherwise you'll lose your jailbreak"... and that there's people that do update.. and expect the jailbreak to be there!
[G2 and Desire Z General] cliffr39:
I think that there may be many, like me, that are new to T-mobile and since they only offer a 14-day test drive (unlike the other three with their 30-day period), we're trying to make sure it's going to work for us. My issue is that the towers at my house are "known issues" with T-mobile and have open tickets on them for not working. If that wasn't the case and the towers did properly work I'd know one way or another if T-mobile fits for me. This wifi-calling would be a great resolution to that issue, but not sure if it will be within their silly 14-day period. I didn't know the coverage issue before signing up since the towers are there and just not functioning.
[G2 and Desire Z General] G1rome:
Ok Im from fort worth tx havent got the update yet.... So the people who got the update, what part of the country their coming from? I dont know how the update works, I mean how come it doesnt update all the phones at one time?
[G2 and Desire Z General] XIPRELAY2010:
Can someone PLEASE see if mms also works over this , thank you.

UMA lovin it
[G2 and Desire Z General] Gwanatu:
Glad I'm not the only one! That's the main reason I got this phone is because of all the down time.

Just to clarify though, I have the data connection drop randomly throughout the day. Yesterday was the best day so far as I only had to reset the radio once (airplane mode). I hope this update fixes it because it is really annoying and problematic.
[G2 and Desire Z General] polo045:
not working

can you guys please help me to get this onto my g2, everytime i go to instal this apk it says problem parsing package, should i rename it or what. please help
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkeee:
@polo045

Don't bother, I had to uninstall it. It doesn't work and eats up resources trying to connect all day long.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rmcsc:
There's no use yet, really. It seems the .apk needs the whole OTA to be installed so it can have the updated radio and libraries.

[G2 and Desire Z General] student.driver:
T-Mobile says no tethering just yet for G2?

http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010...=Feed:+TheBoyGeniusReport+(Boy+Genius+Report)

Well, that seems like strange timing.
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
Can you really take their word for it? Tmobile told me the vibrant wouldn't be getting updated for a while and walaa rite after I replace the vibrant for my g2 a update comes out. Lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkadesi:
guys, we have to remember that T-Mobile is testing the OTAs right now. If you read the blogs like I do, you know you hear about OTA updates gone bad, when phones start misbehaving. T-Mobile is testing how these updates affect the G2s,(thus only few people got them) and if no MAJOR issues are reported than they will get the green light to push it in mass quantities. I am gonna say OCT 17 is when everyone should start seeing the updates.
[G2 and Desire Z General] swags:
T-Mobile is just covering themselves in case there are problems with the updates currently going out to a limited number of people. If they say an update is on the way, people will harass them mercilessly until it drops. Also, that article doesn't say anything about who at T-Mobile made the statement. For all we know it is just a customer service statement, and we know they say (and possibly know) nothing until it officially happens.
[G2 and Desire Z General] reddragon72:
Alright I figured out what could very well be the problem. In the settings nothing is there for advanced. So someone who has received the update and WIFI calling is working please write down all the settings for advanced. Should be

My Network

UNC>

SWG Address>

Ping Network

Ping address>(mine says INVALID so I know something goes there.

I believe that the app is working, but some part of it did not set the settings, maybe another app or what, but I do believe that is the issue or at least might get us further. So please someone who has the update please take a moment to pull this info and share it. Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] DebauchedSloth:
Yep, we need this. If someone who has the update could also attach their build.prop, maybe their is a setting in there.
[G2 and Desire Z General] DebauchedSloth:
/system/build.prop
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
hahhaha! That's what it was! Duh! I forgot about it... Haven't needed to do this in forever...

Normally, You shouldn't do this unless a root method has been confirmed and you know they haven't added a new method to block a past exploit but I don't see the harm this time. Root doesn't look very close in the future and as far as HTC/tmobile knows... their method (NAND locked) is foolproof.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mcp2009:
Lol yea I remember from the days of constantly doing it on my nexus waiting for froyo. Going to sleep now hopefully I get it tomoro

Sent from my T-Mobile G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] hiko36:
Keep your fingers crossed. Maybe Tmo/HTC realized they were being douchers and took off write protection on the eMMC.

Or possibly they're hoping that with us now having tethering enabled we'll forget about rooting...
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
hahhahaha! That was SERIOUSLY what I was just thinking. not sure about the reality of it though....

my guess radio patch for crappy signal and a test of the UMA on android. the tether is REALLY weird though:confused: Can't understand that one unless they will start charging for it.... hopefully not and the soft cap will stick.... not that I really care (since I have nice & speed cable internet) but good for others. nice as a backup or on vacation. I hope we can use the ota for root though mainly. most say we cant but... its worth trying at least.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tehtide:
Probably more this then the first. This will probably get most of the casual rooters satisfied and might quiet down the masses for a while. Maybe give the DEVs (You guys rock!) time to work on root instead of answering inane questions that start with... "Well I'm not a hacker but...".
[G2 and Desire Z General] hiko36:
Wasn't even thinking about this but maybe if a DEV can catch one before it updates we can see how it interacts with the eMMC during update. How they backdoor the encryption to get the writes to stick.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
or atleast log the damn ota. and save it to cache. we should be able to with temp root. I think...

I'll try it when I get mine if someone hasn't already beaten me to it. I'll look up the steps to save it from the cache to the sd.

they are saying that the update has a specific key that it uses that can't be cracked. also we can't fool the system into thinking we have an ota to slip in a root script. I'm guessing thats why they dont think it will work (finding an exploit through ota) but checking a log plus capturing an actual ota zip can't hurt any... We really don't know how the system interacts with eMMC so like you said it might be useful.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
Lets just say one of gets this update. Should we be copying down anything on the screen. Sorry if it's a stupid question. Would a rom dump help?
[G2 and Desire Z General] vikramdhani:
Well i just reached out to tmobile via twitter so lets see what they have to say and alos how come Tmonews.com is not aware of this,since they are the first one to find out
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
ha! tmonews get their news from us! well... sometimes... they have their own sources too though. they have been very useful for me in the past.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
you should not apply it and contact anyone of the devs. they'll pm or gtalk you the steps in saving it properly.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Orite:
i'll actually be sure to remember this too. thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] mattseg:
Dev's are saying, generally, that the OTA won't help gain root.

:sadpanda:
[G2 and Desire Z General] hiko36:
But will it hurt? That's the more pressing matter.
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
T mobile has always said they would implement the tethering if enough people asked for it.

They also said they weren't sure how they would treat charges for it. My guess is that they'll keep the data charges the same until they get bombarded with extreme tethering.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
they do bottleneck your network access if you go over so hopefully they won't have to charge you for it. That's what is cool with tmobile and hopefully they don't continue to lose their "coolness" especially after this NAND lock f*ckover.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
I doubt it... How could it?;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] hiko36:
]

Ha. Good point.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mastermike707:
I am currently in #G2ROOT talking about this and it seems as though there may be possible attack vectors while the OTA is updating someone's device (IANALKH tho). I would say it may be best to hold off, as the earliest form of root available may not work on an OTA'ed phone. Will it hurt? We don't know. Since you can always grab the update later, it may be worth it to wait a bit.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
hell... that's what I'm thinking. there HAS to be another way to find an exploit with an ota besides faking the actual ota and pushing our modded one. The darn ota has access to everything. there has to be something useful learned from it. this is all new stuff to evryone. sure Ive done the same thing with the slide but that was through recovery so there has to be a way. the ota updates through recovery too. it can't be completely locked down. not saying we have to regenerate what key they are using (obviously that would take a year on several powerful computers) but something can be learned from it... I would imagine.
[G2 and Desire Z General] DebauchedSloth:
And this file, the prefs for the wifi calling app:

/data/data/com.android.kineto/shared_prefs/KinetoPrefsFile.xml

Edit: This one is probably the key to making this work.
[G2 and Desire Z General] reddragon72:
Yea we are going to need this file as I just noticed that you cannot edit those settings manual within the app, so an external file, like the one mentioned, is needed.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mingkee:
death to t-************!
[G2 and Desire Z General] WarBird87:
Thanks for the info !! ill deffinetly back up my SD card :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] rmcsc:
Already been posted. Read the thread.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
Thank you for reposting... I have a hard time keeping up with this thread.
[G2 and Desire Z General] swags:
How do you get not "anytime soon" from that? "Not currently supported," "working to deliver them ... in the future," and "nothing further to announce at this time" would all be true even if this were to officially drop tomorrow.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mingkee:
All I can say is:

tmonews is ruining T-Mobile, period.
[G2 and Desire Z General] smapdi:
So the people in this thread that said they got the update were lying?
[G2 and Desire Z General] johnmed3:
Man go for it bro, heck you should just ditch t-mo now. Why wait :rolleyes: ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] sherifone:
I'm going to tell you right now that T-Mobile is by FAR the best of the carriers when it comes to customer service and communication.

And I say this first hand. I am holding a Verizon Droid 2, AT&T captivate, iPhone 4, T-Mobile G2 and I just returned an Epic 4G.
[G2 and Desire Z General] InGeNeTiCs:
Haha...if you're aggravated with the g2, you're going to be way worse off with the epic. Epic fail is what it should've been called.
[G2 and Desire Z General] reddragon72:
That and the half working app I have on my phone :-)

come one people focus on the objective we need some files to help the rest of us out. Please post the files requested a few pages back I would love to get this working ASAP as I have no signal at work and this would be a god send!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Gwanatu:
At least we get updates, and pretty quick too (even if everyone hasn't received it yet).
[G2 and Desire Z General] Crey23:
Dude too bad you don't have a Hero, cuz you would be mine...lol!!!

Seriously, why??? I ask not in a mocking way but in how can I get away with that way.....lol

Just curious why did you return the Epic, and how does the G2 compare to the Droid
[G2 and Desire Z General] InGeNeTiCs:
The epic was just a terrible failure of a phone. Touchwiz is crappy and annoying. I got terrible service everywhere, and it has android 2.1. And don't get me started on the power button being on the side...

Coming from a nexus one, the epic seemed like an awesome upgrade. However, the keyboard wasn't that great, it wasn't nearly as responsive as it should've been at 1ghz, and it only had android 2.1. Also, it only had android 2.1. And as a side note, it only had android 2.1.

The only 1-up I think the epic has over the g2 is the front facing camera(which i can totally do without), and the super amoled screen. Both of which I'm happily doing without.
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
6 days released and your expecting miracles. Theirs always a work around. Root will be gained soon. Patience is the key.

Edit: excuse me let me correct myself. We have root. Just not perm. But soon we will. Have faith in our devs.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stryf3:
Sorry to get everyone's hopes up. I didn't expect to be 1 of just a few people to get the update. Obviously TMO's remarks today indicate that there is an update coming as a wide release, but who knows when.
[G2 and Desire Z General] thynk:
That's okay, your just one of the lucky ones. If you saw on the past few pages, there were some requests for files - if you could pull and post those, it might help the rest of us get wifi calling working. Which would lessen everyone ire at tmo for now.
[G2 and Desire Z General] reddragon72:
True and that's cool but can you help us out? We need an XML file. Some one posted thexact one a few pages back. Can take a look and get that file for us. Because if this doesn't work then I am certain it is the radio that is blocking us from useing the app.
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
Only 6 days released. Will happen in due time. There are several devs working on this. We gotta have faith.
[G2 and Desire Z General] cliffr39:
Either that or the kernel would be my guess... but hoping it much more simplistic like a missing file or setting
[G2 and Desire Z General] tubaking182:
OTAs are helpful in a lot of ways and it's irritating that we have explained in several threads how to get the link, and yet we don't have a link yet.
[G2 and Desire Z General] reddragon72:
Yea, I'm pretty sure we are missing settings. The program is making a call to a local IP 127.x.x.x and this is simply because Android defaults(as well as other OS's) to 127 local loop when there is no set parameter. Now if the program had all the info in place and it still didn't work then I would say that the radio update or the kernal would be and issue. The sooner we get the file and or parameters I requested the sooner we will know if this works or now. But I have hopes it will.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tr.slate:
If anyone on a g2 has this app working could you post your GanLite.txt file? Its found here: data/data/com.android.kineto/files/GanLite.txt

Wondering if the version that installs on the G2 is the same us Nexus users get. Seems like there are a lot of settings labeled as "INVALID" on our versions...
[G2 and Desire Z General] reddragon72:
The invalid that is showing up in the ping section is because no server is set. I am trying to get a list of all the files from that directory and see if there are any files that are different or missing.

Anyone with it installed can you please list all the files in the directory above and there sizes if possible. We are simply missing some set data and we need to find that and input it. Even getting the info from "My network" in the settings>advanced can help a ton.
[G2 and Desire Z General] DebauchedSloth:
If someone could zip or tar up the entire contents of /data/data/com.android.kineto, that would be awesome. Should not be very large.
[G2 and Desire Z General] lucidforest:
From what I recall about UMA, it needs to setup a VPN-ish connection. My hunch is that it's setting up some port forward from localhost on 45211 to some foreign host that is connected via VPN. It could also be via ssh, as I do forward ports via SSH in similar fashion to get past firewalls, etc etc.

There could be some new VPN profile added that you could steal from the settings. I doubt it's in the radio, as you've gotta run the app manually. Someone should troll the update file to see if there's some new network (wifi, routing tables, etc) configuration we're missing.

Obviously, just the UMA apk isn't working.
[G2 and Desire Z General] DebauchedSloth:
I'm guessing that it's missing some config file and without it, doesn't know what server to hit...and is defaulting to localhost (which is probably a remnant left over from development.) Set that server, and away we go.
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
By the time someone decides to post the update or config settings we'll all have been sent the damn ota already lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] grankin01:
Does anyone have an answer for this? I have searched maybe I'm just not using the right keywords.
[G2 and Desire Z General] lucidforest:
LOL, only if you have a G2, I have an N1 and have been eagerly awaiting the UMA calling.
[G2 and Desire Z General] halfwaytothepole:
To make this work, you'll need to copy over the libraries (libkineto.so; librilswitch.so, libganril.so) the module (kineto_gan.ko) and make some tweaks to build prop to redirect the path to the rild.
[G2 and Desire Z General] r8zer:
In the great words of Captain Picard "MAKE IT SO"

LMAO. also on serious note will this work for non t-mobile customers on a nexus 1 as i have looked at the ganlite.txt and seems to be trying to connect to tmobile.com
[G2 and Desire Z General] rr5678:
I don't think it will work
[G2 and Desire Z General] reddragon72:
heres one... has any-one anywhere tried installing this as a root user? My guess is most if not all updates are done as root and when we just install the APK normally some things might now take as we don't have access to them...

But I think we just need that whole directory zipped up and sent to us so we can all share in the fun.
[G2 and Desire Z General] swordsaint_ss:
