[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] borodin1:
Ok, this is going to sound stupid but I did 1 click root (thanks so much for this Paul) and now my Gmail doesn't want to sync. I did not do anything else besides installing wifi tether and wired tether (both of them work flawlessly BTW!) Manual sync still works, just won't do it on it's own. Any suggestions? I know it sounds completely unrelated to root but I can't pinpoint any other causes (did not install any other apps or changed any other settings, worked perfect before the root)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] RealityDesign:
OK, I'm very close :).

I made visionary.sh and put it in /data/local with the following:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

cd /system

mkdir app-bak

cd /system/app

mv com.google.android.apps.finance-1.apk /system/app-bak

mv amazonmp3.apk /system/app-bak

mv com.google.android.maps.mytracks-1.apk /system/app-bak

mv Twitter.apk /system/app-bak

This works, but, in order for the app launcher or whatever to actually show that the programs are gone, you have to click on one of them (like google finance) at which point it obviously can't find the app, and crashes. A menu comes up asking you to force close the app launcher, you force close it, and from then on, it works great and the apps are gone.

So, does anyone know how to just force quit the app launcher from terminal? If I can do that, I can just add it to the end of my visionary.sh and everything will work right away after rooting.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Mine works fine. Just got an email in fact. Must be something else...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] theclueless:
i think the filesystem is ext3, not yaffs2
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] borodin1:
Thanks for confirming what I was thinking. As a matter of fact, I just rebooted (loosing the root in process) and it still did not sync...

*goes to nuke data in Gmail:mad:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] RealityDesign:
You are correct, I need to fix that.

Anyway...does anyone have any idea where photobucket is located? It's not in /data/app or /system/app
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] RealityDesign:
Double post, plz delete.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] elfysrfr:
Working great on mine...yay for wifi tether! I need a towel! Thanx for the hard work guys keep it up!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] konrad1337:
Loving the script and can't wait to see if there is a way to reload the launcher, but shouldn't it also be mmcblk0p25 instead of mtdblock3 since this phone is all on eMMC...

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mthode:
Is there a way to add something to occur after rooted?

I'd like to insmod a kernel module and possibly set up the backend for wireless tethering.

edit, I see this was posted earlier.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Can't overclock without a customized kernel. You can, however, keep it clocked at 806 constantly or/and add profiles. I wouldn't set it at boot yet. You can but I'm not brave enough without nandroid yet...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] RealityDesign:
To be honest, I have no idea. What I posted worked...but it's probably wrong. You think it should be like this?

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system

cd /system

mkdir app-bak

cd /system/app

mv com.google.android.apps.finance-1.apk /system/app-bak

mv amazonmp3.apk /system/app-bak

mv com.google.android.maps.mytracks-1.apk /system/app-bak

mv Twitter.apk /system/app-bak
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fastludeh22:
any ideas on my a visionar.sh containing "/data/local/tmp/startrom" causes it to crash, fc, freeze?

its not usb debugging, thats been on since the day before the phone came out, lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kylez64:
Thanks Paul good work
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joackie27:
Those of you who are rooted and has aLogcat installed. Please try running aLogcat. Does it break root?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] RealityDesign:
So, obviously use this at your own risk, but this works for me:

Make a file called visionary.sh with the following code:

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system

cd /system

mkdir app-bak

cd /system/app

mv com.google.android.apps.finance-1.apk /system/app-bak

mv amazonmp3.apk /system/app-bak

mv com.google.android.maps.mytracks-1.apk /system/app-bak

mv Twitter.apk /system/app-bak

kill com.android.launcher

Put this file in /data/local

Now when you run visionary, it roots the phone, deletes the bloatware, then kills the launcher. You are sent to the T-mobile G2 boot screen again, and after 10-15 seconds the phone comes back, and all the bloatware is gone.

To remove other programs, just add them to the script above. I'm still trying to figure out where photobucket is hiding and then I'll add that to the list.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ThaGeNeCySt:
with SetCPU? I probably can't underclock it with certain profiles neither eh? :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] v8pwrdz28:
Anyone?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stevencpoynter:
Just checked, not having any problems here. Even used it to delete bloatware.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sephiroth1439:
photobucket is /system/app/PbAndroid.apk

Edit: also, when i mount /system, it lets me use mkdir and mv but nothing actually happens within the /system folder
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thenefield:
I had the same problem. It just stayed in a loop. But after rebooting my phone and trying again, it worked. Thanks Paul Obrien! I love this community!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TL24:
After running this 1-step root I went into cmd, then shell and put in $ su I get "permission denied" - any suggestions?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sinistersai4d4d:
I'm sorry, what app do I need to install to enable wifi tether.

-oh .. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre9.apk
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ultma75:
Enabling usb debugging should be added to OP to save some trouble and confusion. Great job paul, love your work.

Is there a safe mod on the g2 like the g1?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] carlsbad0331:
Worked like a freaking charm... Happened so quick that I thought something had gone wrong.

Thanks for a great service! Donation inbound!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AndroidAutobot:
I second that. This question doesn't seem to be answered yet. Can anyone shed any light on this for us? I'm very curious as well. Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xile6:
hard to say as i believe like only 2 people have gotten the update.

I did hear that the update will start to roll out around the 17th or 19th of oct. so after that we will see I hope by then we have prem root
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sixcoronas:
Same here. What's up with that?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] v8pwrdz28:
Click the problems? Button and download dropbox, fixed it for me
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sinistersai4d4d:
This worked like a charm for me. I now have no reason to worry about the update since I can wifi tether. I'm not needing to root every time I boot, so I'll just run visionary and then wifi tether when I need to use it.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ready2Mosh:
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone involved for your continued efforts. I also wanted to say thanks to the guy who found out we needed debugging on for this to work. Now I can tether my ipod touch and watch netflix on the train. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SuperDave81:
Can someone share a visionary.sh file they created? For some reason the one I made will not run. Thanks in advance.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chief2842:
Worked for me after rebooting. Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eyoung1978:
Worked perfectly for me, got titanium running and backed everything up. Now to get a nandroid backup going.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Illwun11:
Ok sorry if I sound like a noob but I'm still kinda learning all of this. Now that we have this is there a way to load a custom recovery to do Nand back-ups?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Not until we unlock recovery... if recovery was unlocked, we already have full root access.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmcsc:
Works wonderfully!

VISIONary is easier to use than drocap2, lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Illwun11:
Oh ok that's what I thought, but doesn't hurt to ask. Guess I'm not as much of a noob as I thought lol. Thanks For the reply.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] RealityDesign:
Youre most welcome ;)

Finally got it to work for me! I had just a moment to try on my lunch hour earlier today and it didn't work...and tonight it did! I got wireless tethering back so I am one EXTREMELY happy person. :D:D

Thank you to everyone who's been working on this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Housetek:
Tried the boot version, no go.

Kept on force closing or looping.

rebooted- force close on start up and didnt load any thing for a minute.

debugging was on entire time *

uninstalled

installed manual version rebooted

ran manual version app doesnt even open

uninstalled advance task manager

uninstalled and reinstalled Visionary manual

app ran and went to phase 2 then closed.

I figure okay i have rooted the phone.

ran wifi tether for root users no go

ran barnacle wifi tether says i need su access.

am i rooted and the apps im using not working

or do i have to grant super user access to each app? if so why doesnt it prompt me to do so.

*sorry im use to my N1 when i rooted that and opened my wifi tether app it first asked me if i wanted grant it permission but it doesnt do it with the g2.*

Im not sure if im rooted or not.

Visionary runs like its suppose to.

I rebooted 3 times thereafter and tried again.

Phase 1 fine

Phase 2 fine

closes it self

non of my wifi root apps work.

any suggestions.

( i dunno if its in my head or not but uninstalled advance task manger made it run)

EDIT: Works now and heres my solution.

Turns out having old version of Super user permission from my n1 didnt play well with it, so i downloaded super user permission uninstalled previous versions and also once again reinstalled visionary then rebooted.

Ran visionary, it worked like it should.

ran barnacle wifi tether and it prompted me to add it to SU.

thanks!

Thanks Paul, I know we all really appreciate your efforts. I also love how you take the time to explain what's going on so those of us without coding skills understand the process. Keep up the great work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] D_Rob:
Thanks Paul. I created an account just to say thanks to all of the people who worked hard and got us this far. And to you "USB Debugger" guy. Many kudos. I was sitting at work yesterday and was trying to root until my phone died, went home, plugged it up, debugged, and presto. Lol, you should'v called this Willy Wonkas Golden Ticket because it's awesome.

hey paul.

noticed that when rebooting and app auto launches.. after it finishes there is considerable amount of lag.

Hi, did you figure out why Gmail wasn't syncing? I'm seeing the same problem now.

edit: nevermind... figured it out. to go accounts in gmail, click menu, select account settings, then enable auto-sync. It was turned off for some strange reason.

I second this! I dont even know how to create one! I'm a noob so dont hate! lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsnelson:
A friend with a G2 installed this and reports that it worked great for him, and he installed the 2.0.5pre11 version of wifi tether. His preliminary findings (pending me trying my infrastructure only laptop) is that it *IS* operating in infrastructure (AP) mode. Can anyone else confirm? My friend and I will post our findings later today, but independent verification is always good as well. :)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] j.books:
dude this is so awesome. it works great. I did have to disable adw.launcher as the default before it worked though.... I'm only using the manual version, btw

edit: btw which version of wifi tether are you guys using?

also, setcpu doesn't work. I know it cant overlcock without the right kernal, but I can't even underclock.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] henryr934:
Mine work perfect
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SuperDave81:
I can confirm using 2.0.5pre09

Boot root version worked great for me, thank you! Is it now possible to run cm6 on our visions?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrpandainc:
Doesn't it work like saving in any format type, for example visionary.html? Just open Notepad. Copy and Paste the ADB codes and then file save as, name it visionary.sh. Select save as option "all files" and add type the ext yourself, I'm sure that should work.

save file name: visionary.sh
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] userfriendlyme:
good job worked great can't wait for a perm fix and hopefully there will be a one click method for that as well thanks you devs for all the hard work on the G2 so far.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] paulobrien:
Cyanogen is working on it... Hopefully we can hook it straight into VISIONary and make the process seamless.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsnelson:
Well, make it three. :) I am thrilled to report that my locked-down, infrastructure only corporate laptop WILL tether and run VPN with the VISIONary root and wifi tether app (2.0.5pre11)!

I'm feeling strongly, strongly drawn to Costco right now. T-Mobile confirmed that I can upgrade for $205; not great, but not the full $500, either.

Somebody STOP me! :)

i've done everything from:

installed device drivers for my desktop

got adb going (environment variables, etc.)

installed a terminal program on my G2

installed an "app installer" program

turned on USB debugging

installed "Wireless Tether for Root Users" (2_0_5-pre11.apk)

however there's no instructions on how to get this VISIONary temp root thingy going.

only APK i saw in the folder(s) was for the SuperUser. i installed it but... ???

Sorry, just frustrated. This is my 1st ANDROID phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] j.books:
the first 2 download links are straight up APKs. download the one you want directly onto your phone and open the file. done
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DJ ELITE:
strange... the files download as a .ZIP file instead of an .APK file...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DJ ELITE:
i utilized the "r3 run on boot" & it works perfect.

i downloaded the APK files on my work computer, however they showed up as ZIP files. i just renamed the extensions and went thru the install process.

thx to j.books for the assist & expedient response. truly appreciated.

So I have a notification over my email icon showing that I have new emails. When I enter the account though, no new emails are visible, even when I click refresh. I can go to my gmail account on my laptop and view the emails and when I do the notification counter goes down on my Evo. I cant figure out what is causing this. It started last night when I flashed a new Kernal. Any help guys?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] overthinkingme:
Happens frequently

In gmail search "is:unread"
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim M:
Here is your fix:

Setttings>Applications>Manage Applications>(select the ALL tab at the top)Gmail>Clear Data

That should take care of your problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanglifemike:
^Thanks man. Just read this and tried it out. I'll post back if this does fix it. I really hope thats all it was. It tried finding Gmail before but didnt click the All tab I guess. Again, thank you very much for your reply!!

Quick feedback: As soon as my emails synced back to the phone, some that were only showing on my laptop before are now showing on my phone. SO....it appears to be fixed, but I dont want to get ahead of myself either......but it does look promising :D. So is this common? Have you seen it before? What causes this? I have never seen this before, and dont know why this stumped after every thing else I am capable of doing to my phones.....Guess I was just caught off-gaurd.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim M:
Common

Yes, it's common. Changing ROMs or doing a Nand restore or just too much filtergarb in the Gmail cache.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanglifemike:
OK, good to know for the future since I guess there is a good chance of it occurring again. Its just strange that all of the ROMs and Kernals I have flashed, updating all radios(NV, PRI, Wimax, etc) that it has not happened before...guess I was just lucky untill this point.

Anyway, again, I appreciate your help and time.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fandroidus:
Is there a way to flash the mini pro's firmware using the sd card?

A flashing tool maybe?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] knudsen81:
no you can't only with s/e's tools
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fandroidus:
thanx m8.

I wish i could flash it. my phone is still bricked.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] knudsen81:
how bricked?

You can not do it with phone turned off press back and put in the cabel and use seus???
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fandroidus:
It was a long process of faults...

(phone rooted)

--> In the beginning i flashed the phone with the firmware of the mini and not mini pro, so buttons+keyboard not respond

--> then pushed metamorph in the phone to change the theme and applied some themes, so in a reboot it showed the app roadsync cannot be loaded and then bluescreen background only, no menus, nothing to interact with

--> tried to restore with SEUS or pc companion but i have the latest firmware...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] knudsen81:
i think you can only pay 10 euro to davinciteam.eu and flash a pro firmware
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pabling19:
Even if SEUS or PC Companion tells you that you haz the latest firmware, you can still perform a repair/reflash of the firmware.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] knudsen81:
Not always
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] li_boud:
Still it worth a try and see if he can repair the f/w....
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] DaRk_dOg:
Try omnius dude. A friend of mine had the same issue and it was solved.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] knudsen81:
it's the same as davinciteam you pay both places
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fandroidus:
can it be done with pc and usb cable?

i cannot enable usb debbuging in the phone and so cannot control it through adb commands
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] li_boud:
Yes, and you dont need USB debugging or even to switch on your phone.. Switch off your phone, launch SEUS, connect your USB cable to phone while pressing back button on the same time when asked, and let SEUS do the work...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fandroidus:
li_boud m8 update through SEUS or PCcompanion cannot be done because it says that i have the latest firmware...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] li_boud:
Of course it says that mate, but it also gives you an option to repair your phone at the same time.. See the attached picture..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fandroidus:
Yes i saw the repair button but i get this error.

That's why i said generally i cannot update either with PCcompanion
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] li_boud:
Have you tried reinstalling PC companion? I was getting this error on windows 7 64, with PCcompanion installation that came with the phone. I downloaded the latest software from SE site and reinstalled it, it worked..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fandroidus:
I have win7 64bit too.

Yes i installed and uninstalled numerous times but the same happens with PCcompanion and SEUS...no updates for the phone
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pabling19:
Have you tried installing SEUS in a different computer? Maybe that'll solve your problem.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fandroidus:
No i haven't.

Something to do with my pc? Erase something from registry or what?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] li_boud:
Not sure about registry.. But you can try downloading update service software from SE website, and install that.

Also, as pabling19 said try installing it on a different computer.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fandroidus:
i downloaded the latest seus but nothing happens. i have the latest firmware and there is no install option to reinstall, just exit.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pabling19:
Dunno what's the reason but for some weird cause, SEUS and PC Companion doesn't work properly on some computers. I've read somewhere in this forum about a same problem as you, solved by updating/repairing from another PC. You can give it a try, before paying for some service.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fandroidus:
Thanx m8, i'll try from another pc, but i'm not an optimist.

Otherwise i'll wait for the 2.1 update.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] knudsen81:
He can't the firmware on this phone is for mini and he has a pro, thats why seus says is up to date and no button for repair
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] li_boud:
Ohh crap, missed that part..

OP: You, my friend, are in a bit of a mess, I dont think SEUS gonna work anyway.. Your best bet is to try alternative methods suggested in this thread, like Omnius..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fandroidus:
It's impossible for the moment. I have no card and account
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] li_boud:
Okay....

You said you flashed your mini pro with mini f/w. how did you do that? which tool did you use?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pabling19:
I don't know why SEUS won't work, I think SEUS reflashes the phone's firmware, regardless of what is installed.

Have you tried the steps in this thread? (that is if it is rooted before you bricked it and you can access adb)
