Ok.. well, does rageagainstthecage still work? Do you know? Did you try just that? the information "it didn't work" isn't very helpful. But then when you have one button you tend to get one response, and that's partly my point.

If you can get root with rageagainstthecage, the rest can all be worked out. And much more easily if more people in the community start to fear less the internals cause they're given information about what's going on, and it's VERY simple, as you can see in my post.. there's only ONE thing (properly installed su) you need to have root on ANY device. (getting root is a different issue, but the hard part is done) And there's no reason not to be explaining that in the BIG FAQ.

Indeed.. it looks like it probably is the same thing (but it's not really documented) . That did not exist when I first posted it.. hence why I worked it out myself. Personally I'm not a fan of one click anything, not as the primary reference at least. Because, ok.. it seems rageagainst the cage probably works on anything. A decent faq somewhere actually EXPLAINING what's required for root, and what rageagainstthe cage does (losely) and at least an example of how to use it on some device then is a good starting place for new phones.. new froyos.. good reference info.

However instead what happens is somebody else comes out with their latest method.. releases it as the mysupermagiconeclick method.. or even if it's script, without any explanation (and most people wouldn't understand, but maybe a few would). And then what happens?

Joeykrims script gets adopted on like 5 diferent devices where it isn't even needed(no offense to him.. he provided what he knew and got some people going who wouldn't have been otherwise). Multiple problems are created because of it. and that's not even a one click. That's a script for people who aren't too afraid to type script and still nobody noticed it wasn't needed?

Now a big one click comes out and someone just says "this doesn't work".

I see so many people saying "I don't know how to use adb" (even after you just told them "type adb push". It's very different that the winmo atmosphere a few years ago.

Anyway, I rageagainsthecage is the only alternative I know of to flashing or update.zip so it would be good if it got a little more attention I think and if people stopped treating the task of copying in 3 little files with permissions like some mystery work for "devs" to handle and folks to praise on high. I mean it's nice if someone can make a gui(and it takes work).. but it's amazing how hard it is often to just find an explanation of the very simple thing that's actually being done. (edit: even in Clshortfuses superoneclick thread.. he links to an older thread with the commands, but it's in page 49 or so.) There's like 5 commands needed with about 2 slight variations (nand unlocking and the setuserid joeykrim problem) that will root anything without flashing or destroying data, and that's not explained in a simple faq around here.)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] appagom:
By the way another reason it might not work is the rageagainsthecage exploit doesn't always (usually though) work the first try, and works better on some usb ports than others.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] appagom:
and I found the same thing on some german site.

maybe /data/local/tmp doesn't exist on froyo for I9000. If anyone was playing with a prompt and had instructions that point out that you only to need to copy it to ANY place where you can write and execute, they might figure out what's going on in one minute, and find another place to copy it to like just /data/local or wherever tmp got moved to. In every case I've seen problems, it was never that the exploit didn't work.

Now ok.. it's possible that somehow they've figured out a way to completely block writing new executable files anywhere from a shell. In which case it would need to get installed through an apk maybe, but it's still possible. Applications do run, all the time; so can this. Knowledge is power... not one click buttons.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kanemari:
ok then ill give you a bit more detail.

you are right, i cant see why it is failing although i can see where it is failing. if i had access to the script to see the steps its trying to take i could work it out but its compiled into a binary as far as i am aware.

the script pushes the file to the device, and it runs for the first loop. it installs the su command and superuser.apk, then loops back to make further changes (i.e. it kills adb and reestablishes a connection). when it loops back it tries to mount something, and fails saying "failed to find mount point" or something similar.

the su command works in shell/terminal until the phone is rebooted, then it is lost. the superuser doesnt work at all (i.e. no superuser requests are generated by apps requiring it, they just fail saying root not available).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] appagom:
Great it sounds like you basically understand what is going on and aren't afraid of a tiny bit of typing. I think MANY people fit that description including myself a few weeks ago. But... the steps are not usually explained as you say. So... click the link in my first post again. It's all explained there. I've started a section there on exceptions.. including what I think might be going on with yours, but your description is a little different from the ones I copied in, so we don't know yet. So go at it, and good luck. I'll be glad to help if I can but my crusade is to get more people who want to to be able to play with it themselves (and to be able to ask questions too, though especially when getting new devices/roms rooted)

I assume you know about adb and and how to run it by hand in the first place. I don't describe that and there are faqs that do, including I think the Big FAQ. That obviously must work first.

P.S. I may add some linux/mac scripts shortly... piece of cake to do.. already did it for the joeykrim method. CLShortFuse is adding linux support but it involves 175 MB of cross-platform compatibality libraries and is at least almost as hard to setup as it is to just use adb. To each his own. It's a neat accomplishment if it works.

For me I push the unroot script to my phone and can unroot when I walk in a store if I want to. I like Rynza's apk for that, but it doesn't work with my phone (3 button, yes... update option, no :( )
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kanemari:
too much verbage for me daddybear... :)

but anyway ill give it a shot next time i need to root my device and let you know if i come up with anything useful.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] appagom:
The first to admit to cracking the code ;). But you only get full credit if you know the reference too!

actually.. if this is really true.. it's almost certainly a joeykrim style problem. The other symptoms are harder to follow, especially depending if superuser never worked or only didn't work after reboot. Anyway, this will certainly get resolved in time I'm sure. If you had su working at all.. then it's just a matter of applying the right tweaks/work arounds (which are likely already known).

I tried to upgrade to the new 2.2 froyo and all it gave me was the JM2, I had JM1 so I did it. Then the phone started to turn itself on and off again, so I did a factory reset from the recovery menu. Now nothing works and everything pops up with force close. I can't do anything but get back to the 3br. Please, I'm sure I'm getting freaked out for no reason but it's 4am here and I've been working on it for hours trying and looking for something.

did u have a lagfix installed on your phone before u started flashing to 2.1.1 ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xanaxas:
Very similar issue here - used regedit hack to get 2.2 - all I got was the JM2, phone was working fine, but I did factory reset hoping to clear all the old data, after this all I get is "Sorry!, The application TwLauncher (process com.sec.android.app/twlauncher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"

I did have lag fix, but unnistaled it before upgrading to 2.2

How this could be solved ?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vulnus:
Got the same problem.

Installed Froyo using Kies and the registry hack. After rebooting I checked my Android Version: 2.1 Update 1. So I followed the instructions to do a factory reset. Now all I can do is boot the phone and type in my pin-code. Then there are lots and lots of popups telling me a process has stopped working ...

Can anyone help? Is odin really the only way to regain access to my phone?

I have the same problem! Have a brand new Vodafone handset (no lag fix etc.), ran the regedit patch and whilst I didn't get 2.2, I stayed on 2.1 update1 but unbranded. Was delighted to get rid of bloatware but after a factory reset, the same problem!

Using my registry settings, I flashed back to Vodafone firmware but the problem still remains :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] japers:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exinferios:
I eventually got it to work

I flashed via Odin, the JPK firmware and that was stable enough to get some sleep. In the morning, I flashed JPM and then rooted and lag fixed. I took the lag fix and even the root off of it before trying to upgrade on Kies so I have no idea how that happened. I'm thinking that flashing with the new ROM is the only way to get it un-bricked after that but it's good anyway because now it has FroYo with root and lag fix even though I was originally trying to keep updates to official channels so to speak (guess I found out just how unsafe the official way is vs. the unofficial way).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] japers:
Me too! Thanks for the advice, I ended up doing the same!

Only difference is I updated to JPM firmware as shown on this forum - works perfectly :) Likewise I would have preferred not to have to do the unofficial way - guess my warrranty is now void?

Out of interest, I found it hard to figure the difference between JPK and JPM but I seemed to conclude that JPM is a slightly more recent and technically the 'final' of Froyo?

its not dead if the charge light lights up right?

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] blastthenoise:
Been browsing around here and following the skyraider and all of ID's threads and there was something I felt was missing from both the sense and vanilla roms. I spent a bunch of time on the regular android theming threads, and this is what I have created so far.

It's in no way a fully polished, and easily flashed or MM'd theme (i don't like the idea of using MM)

See the pictures below for what I've gotten to.

What it consists of:

LauncherPro Plus

Apps Organizer

SwitchPro

TAJM

BattStatt

Pure Calendar

Desktop Visualizer

MinimalText icons

LauncherPro icons (from their website)

Zegoe Font

Sweet Chicago skyline background

I used LauncherPro to get a more customizable screen layout and remove the notification bar. I also love that it lets me change the icons for the dock (and the swipe gestures are nice)

Apps Organizer condenses a lot of my used apps, and Apps Organizer lets you pick custom icons as well

I used to use extended controls and SMODA widget but i didnt like SMODA's colors, so i switched to SwitchPro because of its working 3g on/off (a must since I need my battery to last a full day while I'm on campus). You cant clearly make the buttons out on the bottom, but they are nearly invisible until i touch them and they become white. Might not be everyone's liking but I dont need to see them.

Pure Calendar was used since I rely on my calendar and gtasks, and it was transparent which is what I really wanted.

Here's where I could use some help

I would like to be able to change all app icons to grayscale without using MM. I realize this might mean replacing files within apks for programs which wont be entirely possible

I wish the text size for TAJM was customizable, its too small and I would like BattStatt and TAJM to better use the home screen real estate

Package this into something more people can use/ customize without having to download all of the apps seperately or even use the apps (flashable?)

Still need a new lock screen. I liked the rotary one but I dont think that will look as nice since it uses a gray transparent bg. If it could be fully transparent, just leaving the two buttons, and the music controls either be light gray for off and white for on, that would be awesome.

I'm open to ideas and criticisms, just spent a few hours this weekend trying to gather all I needed but if someone knows a better way I'd love to know.

If there is any interest in this, I could package up the icons and fonts (sorry can't do the apks since most are paid apps). Just need to collect the info for the creators so credit can be given.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ByteFalcon:
so I pretty much decided I'm getting the HTC Desire over the Nexus one, but now with the Desire HD's release about 1 month away I'm debating whether or not to wait.

To be honest I'm in love with the HD's huge screen and looks, but looks alone don't cut it for me. I plan to jump on board the modding/rooting community as soon as I can (just starting out atm) and the Desire is the better choice when it comes to that since its been rooted and messed around with already.

I just worry that I will have to wait a very long time for the Desire HD to be rooted successfully, or it will turnout to be hard to hack and play with like the Nexus one and Desire as I want to try my hand at some hacking myself.

what do you think I should do?

Thanks in advance

EDIT: ok thanks everyone for the replies, I've pretty much decided to go with the Desire. I need a phone I can play around with right away so the Desire would be the better choice. Maybe in the near future when I need a new phone android phones will be more out of the box hacker friendly (hints @ HTC)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kekkle:
I have a Desire and wanted a Desire HD. Until I noticed, it's not the hardware I want. It's the software.

I think the design of the Desire is better.

I also like the physical buttons more. (My mom got a Wildfire, I had using it cause I always accidently hit the capatative buttons).

I think the size is perfect. Sometimes I feel like I wouldn't mind if the Desire was bigger. At other times when using with 1 hand, I find it a bit big.

It's the nw HTC Sense that I noticed I REALLY want. And I'm gonna get that anyway. Officially or modded.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3llb3nd4:
I share your exact same views, I really wished HTC would make a smaller sized flagship phone...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ByteFalcon:
oh yeah, i heard that this feature was on the motorola Droid, had no idea HTC did that same thing to the G2. While the phone will most likely be sold here unbranded and unlocked, since I got Legend which was exclusively sold by vodaphone unbranded and unlocked, i think it will most likely be a built-in hardware feature regardless of whether or not its exclusive to a certain carrier. that seems to be the on going trend right now with HTC and other manufacturers.

___​

at the moment the Desire seems to be the better choice for me, i was considering the HD version based purely on physical looks. after seeing the HD2 in person i loved the huge screen and i thought the Desire HD will be like a buffed up android version of the HD2. i know the Desire will eventually get the updated Sense UI so i have no worries regarding the software.

As for the camera, 5MP is good enough for me when i want to take pictures on the go, otherwise i bring along a real camera with me. I don't think phone cameras are good enough to replace an actual camera just yet.

I want to jump on the band wagon here cos im in the same boat, and this thread has thrown a spanner in the works!!

Ive currently got a rooted hero but lack the power from a 1ghz amongst other things....ive played in length with the Desire and genuinely love it, but its knocking on a bit now so am tempted to hold out for the Desire HD as the price is only £100 diff.

What are we saying about the new HD ? Is it likely to going to be a ball ache to do what the desire already does well.....dont get me wrong ill wait for the dev work to catch up but obviously if theres **** hard coded designed to prevent rooting is it gonna be worth it?

also im going unbranded this time....if that makes a difference (aside from the obvious lack of network restrictions!)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3llb3nd4:
I'd suggest wait till the community has successfully rooted the HD, then decide :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ByteFalcon:
aww I was gonna go buy the Desire tomorrow, now I can't decide again haha

I can call HTC's distributor here and ask them when exactly the device will release here and how much it will be for. When i was comparing between the Nexus and Desire the price was almost the same but now there is obviously going to be a significant price difference.

I guess for me now it all comes down to the price and customization ability.

I've checked the Desire HD's forums and there seems to be a temporary root solution for it at the moment. Looks like they are still working on it.
