[Wildfire General] ErwinP:
Hello

Let me start with admitting that I'm a newbie, a green one, whatever you want. I've bought my WF, my first smartphone, one week ago, and after a day a was confronted with my first limitation: I can't make access to the cisco vpn that my university uses.

I've started looking on the internet, and my only hope is a program called VPN connection, which needs root access to work. Not only the fact that I couldn't install that specific application, but also the disappointment of a discovery that the open-source OS was in fact closed, made me want to root my phone.

So I again started to do research on the internet, mostly by night, which makes me sit like a zombie in lessons, but I've learned a lot. However, there are still a few questions, which I just can't find the answer for.. So I'm hoping one of you would be so kind to help me out a bit!

- I've come to find out that rooting te WF just changes the read/write access of the root directory. So rooting an sich will not change any of the files or settings, nor the language (Dutch). Is that right, or is there an install of a complete "customized" (English) ROM which make the cellphone look brand new?

- I've done some research on how to unroot the WF (I'm having a 2 year waranty..). I know you can download the original ROMs here (shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buzz/) but first of all, I don't know which one to pick, and second, will there be a Dutch one there? Because I'm not sure that they will accept the statement that my phone is suddenly turned English.

Those are in fact the only two questions I have (for now :) ). Thanks in advance to help me entering a whole new world!

[Wildfire General] Warlord711:
The Android OS is a linux. And for such OS, there is a user account with UID 0, thats the "root" account, who got all privileges on the system.

If you root your phone, you will give your "user", thats the user that runs the android OS, the ability to gain root privileges. Those are necessary to do administrative changes to the OS, same as on a usual linux OS.

So the root user is able to mount devices in read/write and do other stuff.

Most official Updates are multilanguage and they are official updates from HTC so even on warranty issues there should be no problem with it.
[Wildfire General] ErwinP:
Warlord711,

Thank you very much for giving me this explanation! But when you talk about "root your phone", I still have a question. If I root my phone, it will be by the method of Unrevoked (Unrevoked 3.21). I understand that the user now has root privileges, but how is that being accomplished? Do they flash the phone with a new ROM, who has "build-in" extended privileges, or do they really change the privileges of some maps on the ROM that originally came with the phone?

In extend I want to make sure about something: so if I install an original UK ROM from shipped-roms.com, I can just install it with the clockworkmod on my device and do an official update, witch will make my phone dutch again?

Thanks in advance!

Erwin
[Wildfire General] ErwinP:
No ferther explanation? A pitty..
[Wildfire General] rolks:
they replace recovery system, but how they do it, thats a question
[Wildfire General] cignu:
I came across this thread hoping for reassurance about not losing warranty in case of unrooting, and I'm joining just to say that Erwin's questions are really accurate, well written and most probably helpful for any other android newbies like me.. so let's answer him/us please!

[Wildfire General] LeandroMarceddu:
It will not change any of the settings, I myself had it in dutch too. It will be the same as you shut it down, only thing that has changed is the recovery mode (entered by holding the volume down and press the boot key)

I dont know either which one to pick, but I _DO_ know that if I pick the right one, it will include dutch, together with several others including English.

Sorry for the noob question but after I downloaded my phone can't find a program to open the file. Do I need to hook up my pc to the phone and open it with the pc? I'm just trying to figure out how to place the files on the root of my sd card so I can flash...right?

Thanks

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hercules rockefeller:
Just place it on the root of your SD card, then power off and boot into Hboot by holding down volume down and pressing the power button. the phone will recognize the pc36img.zip file and ask you if you want to update. select yes, wait for it to complete. and then select yes when it asks you if you want to reboot.

I flashed to 2.10.0001 hboot today and my phone would not boot. I am running CM6 6.1.1. I was told that after flashing hboots you will have to reflash your kernel. This seems like very important info to know so I just wanted to throw it out there if anyone gets stuck in my boat. It's just a good idea in general to keep the current kernel you are using on your SD just in case. Hope this helps any issues :D

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

I am not sure what I did but I have been on an old version of Amon recovery. I got the urge to update to newer version and also flashed clockwork thru Rom Manager...

I went to go into recovery to Flash ....as most addicts do...and I could not get past Hboot. THANK YOU......Tried every pc36img I could find to no avail until finding these.

Hboot .76....

Hello,

New to posting here, but, hopefully I can help out when I can :)

For anyone who needs it, here is the HTC DIAG device driver for Windows x64 (64-bit) that works with the Hero, maybe others.

Enjoy.

Edit: Forum will not let me post a direct link because I'm new apparently.... was just told I could actually just attach the file. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Pardon my ignorance, but what is this needed for?

I installed HTC drivers via HTC Sync on my Win 7 64 bit and adb and everything seems to be fine..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dynamicpda:
I'm in the same boat as c00ller. Wondering... I'll download it and keep it until I figure it out. :)

Htc Diag drives are used if you want to pull your msl code or flash your phone to a different carrier.

Back to subject...why won't my XP 64bit pick up this driver??? Or is it only working with Windows 7 64-bit?

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Asadullah:
yeah all the drivers are different for some strange reason ;) No but seriously. I went through the same thing looking for the windows 7 x64bit drivers the vista drivers wouldn't work and the xp drivers looked at me and laughed for even thinking about it.

But, there is also the Samsung car app from either the captivate or vibrant. I believe it is over in the Fascinate Android Development forum. Don't have time to look for it right now but it shouldn't be too hard to find.

I might be wrong but as far as i know this file contain the lockscreen
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] INeedYourHelp:
Speaking of the fascinate, One thing I like about the fascinate is that the stupid numbers at the top (the ones that represent the home screens) only appear at certain times.

Go to the 7 minute mark and you will see what I mean. The numbers will pop up then go away.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lgkahn:
you cannot replace an odex.. odex are encrypted for a specific firmware. they also are extensions of an apk. you need both.. you would need to de-odex and then replace the deodexed file.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
encrypted :confused:

I though they were just byte-optimized for a particular phone so upon boot it doesn't need to create .dex's and just loads the .dex from the odex directly (in turn giving u a faster boot, at the sacrifice of customization).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] seabhac:
Hi all I wanted to run this by you all,.. Does anyone know if the Sanyo Zio supports Windows 64 bit versions?? I've had issues ever since I got it with seeing my Mass storage on my computer at home but it wasn't until recently I figured out that the issue is that while connected to my Windows 7 64 bit, the phone will show the USB, I choose "Mount" in the notifications,.. then for a split second it shows the option to "turn off USB mass storage" then instantly goes back to checking SD card for errors and back to the option to mount the card again,.. like it tried to mount it to the computer but couldn't so it instantly dismounted it a split second later.. I haven't had this issue on any other systems but when I thought about it, all the other systems I tried it on were all 32 bit not 64 bit like mine. If anyone has any idea I'd sincerely appreciate it! thanks!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] seabhac:
No one has any ideas whatsoever?? I tried multiple SD cards now too and get the same result.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MagickalShadow:
I use Win 7 64 bit Home Premium on both my laptop and desktop and have been connected to both with no problems. I connect to my laptop on a daily basis and my desktop every couple of days. I have never had a problem with the Zio connecting to either one.

Laptop:

Desktop:

I have tethered my laptp via USB using the PDANet app and get good results with that as well.

At work we still use Win XP 32 bit and I connect there as well to download from my DropBox

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] seabhac:
Yeah, here's the ironic thing,.. I can tether it just fine too. Works on every other computer I've had it connected to. I'm on phone with support to Sanyo and the tech is utterly clueless and just keeps asking the same repetative questions I've already answered. She even at one point wanted to refer me to my computer manufacturer to which I said this is a Sanyo specific issue with this phone and my system, there's some sort of setting missing or not right on mine and I need to know what is missing or wrong. I originally has vista ultimate 64 bit and wiped my HDD and upgraded to windows 7 ultimate 64 bit to see if an OS wipe would help but it didn't. Tried several different SD cards too,.. same result,.. mounts the SD card then instantly dismounts it. I'm at a complete loss on this,. I wish Sanyo would pull their proverbial head out between their legs and get on top of this and support the product they make.

Redownload the sound from the Zedge application (They have every sound you can imagine, they'll have yours) go into messages, click the menu button, scroll down to "select ringtones" and select Zedge. Click the tone you downloaded and you're set.

Alternatively you could use something like Root Explorer and move the file to your system>media>audio>notification folder. I ripped the entire audio folder from one the other Vibrant roms and moved it over using this method.

A quick tale of my Rhodium:

I just thought I'd share a quick story having to do with task29 incase it happens to anyone else.

I was task29'ing as usual, and at 47 percent, my usb cord wobble'd and stopped the connection. My phone froze and the installer warned me of a failed flash (or task29 in this case)

I rebooted into my bootloader, and it showed a bunch of overlapping text, and showed RUUNBH or something close to that in the corner. It flashed, and still showed this image. I couldn't get it to say usb like it normally does.

I finally tricked the flasher into running, and it opened up the flash bar just like normal. It works fine now :D

I guess this is just to say, even though stuff might get messed up, (and I've reassured myself many times of this:) you can usually save your precious device, but you'll still be worried on your first screw up.
