Meh o well I live in a 4g city but its no deal breaker. I just want a rom with great battery life and good - excellent performance idc if the rom is sense or not I just like the notification bar and froyo launcher
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] blackperson33:
should i flash it. i dont have root
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sepiid:
WOW! i cant believe no one has replied to you.

if you take a look at the first post with the topic

[ROM] Official AOSP 2.2 OTA

but you mentioned you dont have root. so try installing alogcat from the marketplace and capture the whole deal. then you can email directly from the app.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] callmeradical:
logcat isnt going to do much, it prefetches the files, need to pull the update.zip from adb
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sepiid:
ok, so i havnt gotten the notice yet.

but need a bit of help prepping for when i do.

i have the android sdk installed on my desktop, and can create a virtual device etc...

but when i open the cmd prompt and try to run adb devices it says it is populating a list but i see no results or no file created.

so i tried just running adb logcat and it stops at waiting for device.

any pointers. im running win7x64 ultimate
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sepiid:
well, i screwed it up. i removed the usb drivers and set it to debugging mode and got it working.

so i am able to run adb shell etc...

once i get the notice ill be ready to do an adb pull

adb shell

su

cd /cache/

ls

adb pull /cache/<package_name>.zip .
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nickislauw:
but how do you know the new radio and spl update name?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sepiid:
you should get that by running su then "cd /cache/ ; ls"

right now i have

download-1.apk

downloadfile.apk

recovery

lost+found

so after it is precached i run that "cd cache/ ; ls" i should have another file or two in there

that would be the file you run adb pull /cache/*.*
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sepiid:
a tad bit of help, as a test i am trying to do

adb pull cache/downloadfile.apk d:\

but i get

remote object 'cache/downloadfile.apk' does not exist

i also tried adb pull /cache/downloadfile.apk d:\

and get the same.

edit:

tried doing a adb push

D:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push d:\test.txt /cache

failed to copy 'd:\test.txt' to '/cache/test.txt': Permission denied

so i dont have permission to put anything there, which means i likely dont have permission to pull from there

D:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb pull /cache/downloadfile.apk d:\

remote object '/cache/downloadfile.apk' does not exist

so i opened another cmd prompt and and did an adb shell

su

and i am su

so while the other window was open and i was su i tried the same commands again and got the same results.

edit2:

D:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell ls /cache

opendir failed, Permission denied

so it is definately a su/permissions issue.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] CaptainShanks:
Are you rooted? If not use Universal Androot.

*anticipation*
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] callmeradical:
Here do this:

First if you have root, open up terminal or cmd prompt if you are on windows:

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount yaffs2 /cache

chmod 777 /cache

that will change the permissions allowing for read and write.

Now exit out of shell and just adb pull /cache/

That will pull everything out of the cache partition.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sepiid:
BAM!!! perfect!

i new it was permissions related. just couldnt figure out the "mount -o rw,remount yaffs2 /cache" part. might i ask you to break that down for me? at least the yaffs2 part.

thanks!

so once the update hits i am ready to grab the files.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] callmeradical:
So the YAFFS2 part of the code I put up there is designating the file system in which we are reading/writing.

YAFFS2 is the most popular and widely used format for flash memory.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sharpt71:
please allow me.

yaffs2 is a filesystem type. /cache is of course the directory. -o is for option.

rw: read/write

remount: remount /cache again with new option.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] callmeradical:
Oh yeah and BTW, you can change the permissions back if you want after your done, otherwise I believe you can just reboot the phone and it fixes it, not entirely sure, I was trying to rewrite my default.prop to get adb remount to work with stock 1.6 rooted, but I am getting and access denied issue.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sepiid:
perfect was about to ask what the -o was but i tried mount --help and mount -h both resulted in nothing. then you reply sharpt71

thanks again all.

i am now ready to pull the update and upload once i get the update. hopefully soon!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] SilverSurfR:
Rather than the remounting and chmoding so you can adb pull.

You could probably get away with

su
cp /cache/<whatever> /sdcard

Then mount the SD card or put it in a card reader.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] callmeradical:
You probably could I just know that this is a sure fire way to grab everything in cache directly to the machine, otherwise if you aren't next to a machine you could probably do a copy like you said.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
My 2nd update failed, do you guys think the files are still in my cache?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Daffa222:
Hi guys,

I'm not big on gel cases and such. If I'm taking my phone out of my pocket for prolonged use, I'm happy to remove it from a leather case and use the phone in all the glory it was intended. Having said that, I would like to keep the phone protected/clean while in my pocket or bag and so think a leather case would suit me best, especially since it would cover the screen.

What I want to know is, does anyone know of a leather case that opens, allows me to touch and use the screen fully and also, if I need to, pop the hinge and bash out a text or two on the keyboard while it's still in the case?

I'm kinda thinking something like this...

http://www.mobileden.co.uk/mobilephones/pc/catalog/htc-desire_367_detail.jpg

... but where you can also swing the hinge open and use the keyboard, without having to completely remove the phone from the case.

Thanks guys.

Is ther someone so kind to link me (or mail me) the entire zipped ITV csc folder from JPM/JP6 rom?

After flashed JPM my csc is "half" changed and i've found only JM1 version.

Is there so much difference between a csc version and another?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] daigoro64:
JPM/JP6 ROM is not yet available for ITV, so there is no way (yet) to have the official one.

There is a thread here to manually change it to ITV (link to CSC archive is present on 1st post).

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XideXL:
I recently flashed a new ROM which required use of an APN backup/restore app to get a working APN (redemptive? I can't remember which, flashed a few lately). Anyway, before changing it, I did an APN backup, deleted my APN, and restored using the included xml file.

I decided to go back to virtuous via a nandroid backup and thought it would be best to restore my APN to the way it was when I first flashed the new ROM before doing so.

Everything still works, but lately when I'm not on wifi and I browse the web, facebook, etc. I'm almost always on 1X instead of 3G and it seems slower.

I could just be crazy, but I don't really remember seeing 1X active very often before. I also had a hell of a time getting navigation to download directions the other day, even with a fair amount of signal (it kept saying "data connection lost" even though the map itself was updating).

Could this have anything to with messing with the APN from a different ROM, even though I restored using nandroid? If so, is there a way to restore a stock APN? I looked around a bit but couldn't find anything.

Sent from my Droid Incredible
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XideXL:
I'm really struggling to find the source of this problem if it isn't the APN. I have tried updating my PRL via *228 using both the .09.01 radio and the .07.28 radio. I have also tried several different kernels thinking that might somehow affect which data speeds are used.

I've read of a lot of people fixing this problem by either rebooting or toggling airplane mode on and off. Neither of these workarounds has given me any success.

However, I still am only getting 1X speeds everywhere I go when I normally have excellent 3G coverage everywhere. In addition, most of the time when 1X data finishes transferring, my 3G icon appears for a good 10 seconds, but with no sending/receiving animation.

Anyone have any ideas what might be wrong and/or how to fix it?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmichaelow:
This was happening to me too. A Verizon rep solved it!

You need to factory reset your phone. It's not as scary as it sounds actually.

Nandroid just in case.

For Sense:

Settings --> SD & phone storage --> Factory data reset --> whichever wipes the most.

For AOSP:

Settings --> Privacy --> something...

And after the reboot, "activate" your phone. (There will be a popup)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XideXL:
That fixed it! Well, sort of. I ended up being put in a boot loop when I tried a factory reset, both from the menu and from within hboot. I'm not sure if it was my ROM, hboot version, being rooted, or what, since I've never had to do that for anything before.

I restored my nandroid but my phone now had no idea who my carrier was and had me in roaming mode. I was unable to get any data to transfer whatsoever and wasn't able to update anything via *228, I was pretty worried at this point!

I ended up going back to S-On, unrooting and reverting completely back to a stock image, boot, radio, etc. After re-rooting, redoing S-Off, updating the radio and restoring my nandroid backup, 3G is fully functional again!

A big pain to deal with compared to a basic factory reset I'd imagine, but worth it I guess. Thanks for the info.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmichaelow:
You're welcome! Yeah, I'm not sure why there are so many hoops to jump through.

Seems like the factory data reset clears something that ROMs don't.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oqudsi:
So ive been trying to spoof the mac address on my HTC Desire (LEE Droid 2.2a, rooted) but to no avail.

Ive tried going through terminal and putting "ip link set etho...." but i get "operation not permitted"

Ive seen this guide for the HTC Hero but I dunno if it'll work on a Desire:

ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers. com/showthread.php?t=686789

Thanks in Advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oqudsi:
So i think it worked, first thing you need to do is put in the command su so that the Terminal gets Super User access.

Then just put

iplink set eth0 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

iplink set eth0 broadcast XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

then to make sure it worked go to iplink show eth0

Looking forward to seeing this thing cracked! I'm hoping someone will be able to get a USB tuner to work on one, so those without cable or satellite will be able to get TV content without the hassle of another set-top box.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ep3n3wp:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Apeman42:
OK Guys, I am still working on it. Heres a video of me booting it into the recovery mode.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hharte:
Thanks for the information about recovery, I tried it, and was able to get into recovery. I tried writing the logfile to USB, and it "seemed" to work, but after mounting the USB stick on my linux machine, I didn't see any files there.

I bought the Sony NSZ-GT1 so I could port my Android app Better Terminal Emulator Pro onto Google TV. I already ported it to Android-x86 in preparation for this, but seems like I could not ADB into the Google TV over Ethernet. Frustrated, I decided to take a screwdriver to my Google TV, and did a "teardown" as a result. You can see what the guts look like here:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rogerlemmon:
ETHERNET? Hasnt anyone tried USB A to USB A cable? I've been busy all day. Gonna go get one tomorrow and figure it out for myself I guess. Can't stand that they have ALREADY corrected the hulu fix for the thing. Why shouldn't I be able to access my paid July plus account? Oh well.

Try USB a to USB a!!!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hharte:
USB A to A will definitely not work. All of the USB ports are connected through internal SMSC 4-port hubs. There are two hubs in the unit, one in the back with 3 ports going to external connectors, and one going to the WLAN module. Up front there is another 4-port hub going to the front USB connector, and presumably to a BT module, but I didn't take mine far enough apart to be sure.

There is one large connector over near the CPU that might have some debug stuff on it.There are also about three 4-pin connectors populated, one of which might be a UART. There is also a footprint for another. Tomorrow I'll get my oscilloscope out and see if any of those pins wiggle on boot.

-Howard
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rogerlemmon:
Yeah, the big long/wide plug. I was looking at the inside of my box too. First day jitters. Anyway, I was also going to start looking for a serial port connection through one of those ports. Good luck and post right away if you find something!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hharte:
If somene with an ethernet sniffer who has not booted their box yet can catch a sniff of the update download, it might be possible to get the update.zip URL, then we could try hacking the update and install it via recovery. This method was very popular with Android devices... but there you could get the update URL from the logcat

Have we not figured out how to use log copy? It doesn't seem to like anything i plugged in to copy to...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Apeman42:
Great job guys! My friend is going to be getting a GTV later this week, and I will try to get it from him before he boots it up. Guess I will stop trying USB A to USB A.

Will post results later tonight.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hharte:
Another possibility is to try and find the kernel source. If you look in Settings, system Information, Open Source Licenses, there is a site on Google Code that is supposed to contain the GPL'd components:

http://code.google.com/p/googletv-mirrored-source/

Going there doesn't show much except one user space component, and a link to a Sony mirror site:

http://products.sel.sony.com/opensource/

I couldn't find anything useful on the Sony site, but maybe someone else will have better luck.

I'll also try plugging in a USB Serial adapter, but my expectations are pretty low that I'd be able to get a console from that. It's interesting that there are so many USB ports on the Google TV. I wonder what other USB peripherals might be supported? I can see the front port being used for a USB memory stick, and maybe one on the back for a camera, but that still leaves two unused ports. Any idea what Sony/Google might have intended them for?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] twobit:
Not sure if this helps anyone or not, but i ran a port scan on my box and there are 2 ports 9551 and 9552 that are accepting TCP connections.

nmap -p - <IP address of NSZ-GT1>

result :

PORT STATE SERVICE

9551/tcp open unknown

9552/tcp open unknown

I tried to get ADB to connect to those ports but did not work.

Steps that I tried :

1) export ADBHOST=<IP address of my PC>

2) adb kill-server

3) adb devices

No ADB devices were returned

4) adb connect <IP address of Sony NSZ-GT1>:9551

5) adb shell

Got error "error: device offline"

6) repeat steps 4 and 5 except with port 9552 and got same result

I am no expert in any of this stuff so the above might just be sending someone down a rabbit hole but I figured I might share in case it might be helpful to some of the smarter people on here.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hharte:
Try "adb devices" and see if it show anything.

I looked at the kernel from the Sony site:

http://www.sony.net/Products/Linux/TV/NSZ-GT1.html

Here are some findings:

Linux kernel version: 2.6.23.18_nl-btv

Kernel config:

arch/i386/configs/btv_defconfig

CONFIG_USB_SMSC9500=m

Note the SMSC 9500 USB/Ethernet is one of only two loadable modules in the kernel config. Maybe this has some significance, like maybe they use a second Ethernet port for development.

-Howard
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Apeman42:
Very interesting.... I am thinking of getting a second unit to try to intercept the update.zip.... would anyone be able to tell me how I would do this?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dbzfanatic:
Did it say something about a USB filesystem? That was even before the built-in USB hosts were activated so that may be a point of attack, see if you can modify those files directly. I also noticed it said "PAL driver loaded" which might mean with a different driver you could use the same hardware for NTSC or PAL. I know sometimes the same device has slight differences between the NTSC and PAL versions but if I'm right about what I got from skimming your log any progress made should apply to all devices, not just PAL or NTSC versions. It also says it created 3 logs "log_main", "log_events", and "log_radio", have you been able to comb through those for any useful information?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] agenthh:
There are two flash devices: the 1GiB Samsung chip, and the 4GiB Hynix chip. The Samsung chip is not USB; the Hynix is, and the PS2251 is the controller for it.

So, the only chip we could manage maybe to swap with USB is the Hynix, but that only has the Chrome and cache partitions on it.

Also, I have no shell access; it's just output.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dbzfanatic:
I know it's just output without a shell but if you got the boot log you might be able to recover the 3 logs mentioned there. In terms of me suggesting focusing on the USBFS it wasn't directed at you specifically but at everyone working on this. There's more than one way to access files stored on a chip, even if you have to use a programmer. It's just a possible point of attack, just like the "apply update.zip" feature of the recovery menu.
