Incredibly weird. I booted up for the first time, everything went great. About five minutes in, I was rearranging my homescreen, and an icon got stuck and the phone froze. It unfroze, then restarted to the M logo. From there, it went to the BOOTLOADER. I don't know if this is normal, but it happened.

Not sure. Get Fission though :)

Dude don't ad for another rom in this ones lol... is there a way to have the updated version of gmail so I don't have to update it everytime I reboot? (Not a big deal just curious lol) also does anybody else have screen sensing issues after a reboot? Sometimes it'll take a minute for my screen to become responsive after a reboot... and it always asks me to clear superuser access for the bootloader after a reboot...

Any body?
[Droid 2 Android Development] wimastyle:
With this ROM version, I've had issues with clearing SU access for just about every app. Any time I ran an app needing SU, it would ask me to grant permission again (even with "Remember" checked).

I just recently manually updated the SU app, which seems to have fixed that problem. SU access now remembered properly.

As for the GMail app, I have the latest version of GMail and don't recall updating it in weeks. So I'm not sure why it's giving you issues.

Constant boot loop from first start up, doesn't get past the two letter Ds in the sequence. SBF'ing.
[Droid 2 Android Development] RaptorMD:
Does this ROM work on the D2G or is that not an issue? Looking to finally root my new phone this week.
[Droid 2 Android Development] newk8600:
I don't believe this will work because this ROM was made back when the verizon version was 2.2.0 on the orginal D2. This ROM is really outdated. It still works and I'm happy to say that I've installed it back when it first came out but Matt is doing some work on a new version I'd wait for that.

I recently posted an ad on craigslist. Then... Legit buyers and non legit buyers came to me. Legit ones SMSed Me and those scammers whose IQ's below 80 emailed me.

Here is one of them, which I copied from Gmail with printable formatting: (In both cases, I was too impatient and wanted their address so I can send them a pile of sh*t... XD)

Second One is from a "penpin":

By now, you should have realised something: Both postal codes are the same! One addesss is going to a "estate", while the other is going to a bus stop (LOL!).

1) I do not have an IQ of 80 and below.

2) I am not a retard who would believe that someone would study at Nigera.

3) Let me invite them to s*ck my d*ck.

What are your views? Comment about it.

The last one is disputable, but the first two are definite scammers. Explain to me, how can two different addresses, one an estate, the other a bus stop, have the same postal code? Unless both go to the same scamming scheme.

I listed my "computer skills" for hire on Craigslist a few months ago. Some guy asked "how much to clean 10 laptops and reinstall Windows on them", I said "$150 each, plus cost of 10 Windows licenses". He promptly replied that he would ship the computers and 10 copies of Windows, COD, and would send a money order for $1500 + shipping so I could pay the delivery driver and keep the balance. All he needed was a list of personal info including my address.

Maybe I missed out on some easy money when I told him to "f#@% off", I'm content to believe I avoided a scam.
[Off-topic] souljaboy:
lol thats fuccin expensive 150 each ... they kill a man for that money in europ
[Off-topic] deathsled:
In some places an institution or something may have its own postal code, but in most places a postal code simply indicates a geographic area. For example there are over 30,000 people that live within my postal code (and 12 registered sex offenders apparently haha). THAT is how those 2 places can have the same one, lol

Now I'm not arguing that those Nigerians aren't scamming you, they certainly are trying, just letting you know about postal codes, lol.

If they're asking for your paypal information I would give it to them and let them pay, then immediately take the money out and put it in your bank, and then never send them an item. The worst that happens is Paypal tries to get the money back when it's found out the scammer used someone else's account or something. I seriously doubt that a scammer is going to file a dispute using a stolen account to try to get money back. Sounds like a good way to get some free money, lol

Anyway, that mona rio decided to spam my inbox by sending an email every hour telling me "I awaits your reply". I have about 300 of those in my Gmail threaded into 1 conversation. Should I send a pile of *dog feces* to those scammers? Leave a reply everyone!
[Off-topic] wdfowty:
Somehow I don't think that would make it very far past customs checkpoint lol.

You could send him an empty box (or leave a "pleasant" note inside, up to you ;)), and "forget" to put enough postage on it. Also "forget" to write a return address.

When he gets the box, he'll have to fork out some cash to make up the difference. Win.

You get this type of scam on the UK equivalent 'Gumtree'. If you post any form of electronics give it a few hours and you'll have many replys from these scammers all wanting shipping to Nigeria. The best bet is just to put it on eBay.

Back years ago when I was doing the online dating thing, I used to get scammers contacting me. Mostly from their messages they seemed Russian or spoke some kind of slavic language based on the words they left out and such. Most claimed to be doctors or supermodels who wanted me to move them to the US so they could be my soulmate.

One time I had a profile up on Yahoo Personals and was contacted via Yahoo instant messenger by a nice looking african girl (based on her profile picture) who said that she had recently came to the US to marry a man and he left her behind at a hotel and he didn't pay the bill. She said that the hotel manager was holding her hostage until the bill was paid. She said she needed me to contact the hotel and talk to them and tell them I was a good american friend who promised that she would return with the money etc etc and leave him a small deposit as a gesture of good faith. (*DING DING DING*)

I said "You need to contact your local embassy or consulate, they will help you" and she just kept on pleading and pleading and I just kept on repeating the same thing and finally blocked "her".
[Off-topic] souljaboy:
would of been an epic troll to ask for the address of the hotel and say ok im on my way ! and a few hours later u message him like: ok im here but wheres the room ??
[G1 General] jcdeuce:
ok so i am hoping i have not bricked phone but i think i did. i booted to recovery console by holding the home+power and ran the danger spl and when i reboot it just goes to black screnn with white g1 screen and stays. cant even get back into recovery by holding home+power or holding camera+power. so am i done?
[G1 General] androidcues:
i dont see the words "battery pull" have those been done? what happens when u put battery back in? what rom or what were u running before? what radio?

theres a LOT of info i just cant glean off your post.
[G1 General] jcdeuce:
I did pull the battery several times.

the story of how it happened:

I got my g1 unlocked via unlock code from tmobile, I the proceeded to root the phone. All of which worked fine. I then wanted to load cyanogenmod 6 so i downloaded the dangerspl and moved it to sdcard. i then powered off the phone and booted holding home+power and did an install script form sdcard. it installed and completed and i chose reboot and it went to black screen with white G1 and then just sits there. i have pulled the batt several times and just back to that screen. i have tried booting holding home+power and camera+power and both result in the same screen.:confused:

Heyy

I wanted to buy a micro sd card in UK for.my nexus one possibly 16gb or 32gb...i looked over at ebay and price of 32gb is.quite weird as its only under £25 and 16gb is of about £20...has any of u bought it from ebay uk before?? I need to be sure if the.cards.are not fake

Thanks
[Nexus One Accessories] cmarti:
90% of them are fake so be careful do research and go on and buy one if you like to gamble.
[Nexus One Accessories] apollostees:
Agreed.

It's probably fake. Most people are not stupid. Even if they are not tech savvy they can easily find out what an item is worth and charge appropriately.
[G2 and Desire Z General] coolmarkoo:
guys i know this is not the place for general topics but i think that the reason everytime we boot after root we loose it because the system is all backed up in the phone internal memory i belive that the g2 has 4gigs of memory but why is it that we can only use 1.5gigs of the 4 come on guys think about it backing up the whole system can take that much memory out if we can somehow modify the system internal memroy and delete everything on it wouldnt that work and make our root stick. please dont flame me im only trying to help and cant accept the fact that we cant root anymore .
[G2 and Desire Z General] Dalamak:
holySh!t that was funny LOL..... Classic, that was too good
[G2 and Desire Z General] ramainli:
Flame on!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] coolmarkoo:
i gota admit it was funny but what did you guys think i know all the devs are hard at work but do you think it would work, once they find a way in the system.
[G2 and Desire Z General] epeets:
you didn't have to make a new thread man. You could've just posted this in the G2 Root Thinktank thread (which is on thread #2 already) where many good developers and program buffs are collaborating to achieve Root. You won't get too many helpful replies like this. Just go into the thread and put in your 2 sense. Someone's bound to expand on your idea (hopefully).
[G2 and Desire Z General] coolmarkoo:
that didnt work man thats why i had to make a new thread just so i can be heard
[G2 and Desire Z General] Dalamak:
Idk, sounds to me like that might permanently break it

Don't forget to bring a towel
[G2 and Desire Z General] coolmarkoo:
just modify the system memory not take every thing out . or atleast find where its backed up on the memory and delte it
[G2 and Desire Z General] krayshunist:
But dude, that won't work. T-Mobile already admitted that a root-kit restores the system upon reboot!
[G2 and Desire Z General] coolmarkoo:
i dont belive that crap they only said that to discourage us from trying.
[G2 and Desire Z General] krayshunist:
You think they would lie? I mean, no one has found a permanent root, so there must be something to what T-Mobile is saying.
[G2 and Desire Z General] hansalvato:
but dude,cyanogen already tweeted this! http://pastebin.com/cm75Z9UA
[G2 and Desire Z General] eddieringle:
Nothing is "backed up." When you write to /system while you have temporary root, the write doesn't actually occur, but a bug makes Linux think it did, so it gets written to Linux's cache. So when the cache is flushed (like when a reboot occurs), you lose all your changes to /system.

See: http://pastebin.com/cm75Z9UA
[G2 and Desire Z General] Dalamak:
I'm up for anything that may work, its an idea, still a long way off, without actually identifying the memory address where the recovery is stored its still a ways off, much less accessing it. Deleting or wiping it I would think would brick the device, seeing the encountered exception, not sure how it would handle it, maybe just hang at the recovery
[G2 and Desire Z General] coolmarkoo:
that could be true but i think that they think we are getting closer to root so they said that to discourage us . and if we root it then all they will say it oh well we will try harder next time.
[G2 and Desire Z General] krayshunist:
But dude, that's exactly what he's saying!
[G2 and Desire Z General] coolmarkoo:
i know it might seem silly but we have to try.
[G2 and Desire Z General] smasraum:
Wow! I bet no one ever thought of that. And your technical expertise is so obvious and overwhelming. Obviously, after this revelation everyone should just stop trying and learn to live with their phones the way they are.

You're a genius!
[G2 and Desire Z General] coolmarkoo:
wow i really feel sorry for you . if you dont want to root you shouldnt be on this forum looking for it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Dalamak:
Reading this makes sense, just have to get past the write protection to actually allow a Physical Write to Read only memory. Instead of loading into A temporary ram Cache that is cleared when the system reboots
[G2 and Desire Z General] krayshunist:
But here's another thought. What if T-Mobile and HTC are using their root-kit and restore tool to spy on your rooting attempts? Then if you get root they know about it and send out updates to patch these holes!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Cel1084:
Oh no!! Then in a few years we will be calling it Skynet!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Dalamak:
I don't think they are that concerned with it, at the rates they release hardware, it would be easier to take what they learn and apply it to a prevention on the next product, then for them to play cat and mouse
[G2 and Desire Z General] coolmarkoo:
i doubt that would work because we would notice a download of an update and it would take a very long time to acually do the whole process where they detect that i got root and then send a patch out and then install on the phone .
[G2 and Desire Z General] Dalamak:
its like PSP,Wii, and Xbox they could never patch what was vulnerable hardware, that's why Xbox 360 has so many layers of embedded security
[G2 and Desire Z General] swhtownboy:
Lmfao!!...very funny
[G2 and Desire Z General] Dalamak:
yeah it was spot on LOL
[G2 and Desire Z General] AdhvanIt:
They would not.. Because the vast majority of rooted ROMs disable the ability to receive an OTA update. Because if you're rooted and flash an OTA update, you lose root.. Tmo knows this, so it would be a waste of time and resources. There are also privacy laws that protect against a company spying on you. Good try though.

Also, root will be found. Its just a matter of time.. as far as a restore being stored on the internal memory... this is a lie. You just haven't actually been writing to the system partition. Instead, to a cache area that is cleared upon reboot.

My 2¢
[G2 and Desire Z General] krayshunist:
Not at all. Imagine the root-kit tracking everything you do on the phone. It can detect if you have permissions you shouldn't have. It uploads the log to HTC silently, HTC's army of Chinese works on it to patch the hole, they send out an update to your phone silently and the next time you mess with it and it restarts the update gets applied in the background. Why do you think it takes so long to boot an Android phone? It's installing updates against hackers!
[G2 and Desire Z General] coolmarkoo:
okay just to clear things out i just put my gf simcard in the phone after temp rooting and reboot and i lost it again that proofs that they arenot sending anything out since my girlfrind doesnt have internet .

[G2 and Desire Z General] theclueless:
dont kid yourself, taiwan doesnt have an army
[G2 and Desire Z General] krayshunist:
They'll do it once your card is back in the phone. As you so astutely identified, it needs internet to update! Fortunately there's a way to prevent these updates...

Wow what a good idea I will try when I get off of work. Now go on and live ur life
[G2 and Desire Z General] krayshunist:
You mean you'll try it when you get "off work." Only one "off" there, hotshot. And I'm several steps ahead of you, I was just using you for my amusement.
[G2 and Desire Z General] coolmarkoo:
How can you prove that you're ahead of me
[G2 and Desire Z General] krayshunist:
I'll assume that was a question. I'm ahead of you because I'm actually doing work while corresponding with you. And I also know that people have already sent commands to the memory controller, so once the correct reset sequence is figured out flashing a custom recovery will be possible.
[G2 and Desire Z General] coolmarkoo:
Nice I wasn't expecting u to know the status. But I certainly hope good luck to all of us in getting root to stick on the phone
[G2 and Desire Z General] stridger:
Everyone who has read the two XDA rooting threads is miles ahead of you. You should stop making a fool of yourself and just read. Read before replying to threads and read twice before starting new threads. All that you have brought has been said a million times in those threads.

dudes, dudes, chill. check it out dudes, i got my root to stick. i figured it out. i wanted to post it here first and not in the developers forum cuz everyones reading this thread first. heres the steps to get perm root:

1. temp root

2. pull sim card out but do not remove power from the phone (see youtube for details)

3. put ur phone near a microwave thats on

4. reboot holding alt s d

5. after boot up put ur sim back in without removing power (again see youtube)

6. perm rooted dudes!

Got mine! It's a lot thicker than I thought it would be. It'll protect the phone from anything from a 1ft distance. Any drop over that could do some damage to the phone.

My only complaint was shipping was a bit annoying.. the tracking number they supplied didn't work, but I got it and I'm happy.

They sent me a white one instead of a black one, wth. It does give it a nice feel but wish it coverd more of the cracks and wasnt so thick, I would have took more of a sticker like cover.
