[Droid Incredible Android Development] Solar257:
Is it possible that this update turned s-on for the SLCD Incredibles? I did unrevoked forever, and had to use a special Clockwork PB31IMG (from incredibleforum. com/forum/htc-incredible-hacks/5721-i-rooted-now-i-only-see-black-screen-white-bars-recovery.html) to remove the black bars. Clockwork's recovery screen is black with green text and you can use the optical joystick to make selections. I most certainly had root and I am pretty sure about s-off because I was able to use SetCPU and make profiles and get it to start at boot. I could also take screenshots using ShootMe. When I first tried unrevoked I went into the program and unchecked 'disable phone security.' After realizing that I couldn't get SetCPU to work that way, I reran the the process being sure to leave that option checked. But in the process of running this update something happened and I'm not sure what. I was expecting to loose root, people had mentioned it, but in the process of installing the Clockwork mod posted, forum.xda-developers. com/showpost.php?p=9115175&postcount=64, earlier in the thread, the phone does nothing and stays at the hboot screen. It looks like is parses the file but decides not to apply it.

When I try going into the recovery section of hboot the device just sits there with a red triangle and an exclamation point. The only way to get out of it is to pull the battery.

Anyone else with an SLCD screen seeing this? Or did I miss something else?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chaint:
I also suffer from this problem, and no, the problem hasn't been resolved with this update.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
Just a thought regarding the red triangle. That happens occasionally when trying to get hboot to recognize a file, but simply pushing the power button brings up the normal clockwork mod menu.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Solar257:
No dice, I tried holding down the power button and it still just sat at that screen. Thanks for the suggestion!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jacomoman:
Sorry for the old subject post, but I've been reading forum posts for 3 days now trying to figure out if I can root my Droid Inc.

Here's my settings... Nov. 14 OTA update applied (stupid me!), HBOOT reports S-ON. I just want to confirm, with these settings am I to understand there's absolutely no way to root this phone until the unrevoked guys come out with an update? (*IF* they come out with one that works with the Nov. 14 OTA).

I read earlier in this thread that if you're able to somehow downgrade the phone back to the stock 2.2 using that RUU that someone posted, then you can use unrevoked 3.2.1 to root. But boomertwo just confirmed that there's no way you can downgrade "without a lot of hacking", and I'm not sure what's involved in that anyways.

So, am I pretty much stuck with an unrootable phone until Android 2.3 is released and unrevoked releases a one-click root for that?:(

Thanks,

-Jac
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tdiman:
Yes.

The threads you speak about add more confusion to the language used to describe what is necessary to flash custom ROMS. To flash roms, you need 3 things: S-OFF, Root and a custom recovery. (actually, you don't even need superuser, just the recovery, but to install rooted applications you need superuser).

S-OFF == security off (write protect). This is the hard thing to get, and what is necessary for both rooting and installing recovery.

Recovery == Clockworkmod, Amon-Ra, etc. Necessary for nandroid and flashing zips.

Rooting == superuser application installed and functioning

In those threads, people whom had already achieved S-OFF had lost both Superuser and an appropriate recovery when they installed the OTA, but they did not lose S-OFF. So all they needed was to flash a recovery and install superuser. Some do not understand the relationship between the 3 components needed to flash roms, thus those threads are all over the place.

To add to the confusion, running unrevoked fixed their problems, because it both flashes a recovery and installs superuser. Of course, it could not perform S-OFF on the new OTA, but they already had it, so it skipped to the other steps.

Flashing a recovery and installing superuser are not unique nor special functions of unrevoked. I do this all the time from my SDCard without unrevoked. What unrevoked does that is extraordinary is that it converts the S-ON status of your phone to S-OFF. The fact that it does other things is only helpful.

It is this converting of S-ON to S-OFF that you need. Unrevoked has indicated they're working on it, and we have no reason to doubt this as they've updated it at least twice before.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jacomoman:
tdiman, thank you very much for your reply. This was the most helpful post I'd read anywhere on the subject.

It's much more clear now and I can't wait until unrevoked as an update so I can set S-OFF and open the door to the other stuff (root, superuser, etc).:rolleyes:

I'm a long time Linux and Java software developer so I'm no stranger to "hacking", but whereas I know all the "Not-to-do" things in Linux so I don't end up "bricking" a Linux box, I'm completely clueless on the not-to-do things about this phone so I hesitate to just start "hacking" things deep in its O/S. So I guess I'll wait for the unrevoked update.:o

Thank you again,:D

Ok so this should work to revert my buddies phone who did the latest ota before i had the chance to root it for him

correct me if I am wrong.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Solar257:
Just wanted to say that the steps found in this thread helped my rollback to a previous update and reroot and turn s-off.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tdiman:
That's great news.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sunder74:
quick question

New to the HTC phones but have been using and modding android on the moto series for a while now. Is this ruu amoled or slcd specific?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rusalcom:
Спасибо за линк, I'll try it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wpbear:
No I dont think so. Same RUU should work for both.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jacomoman:
Well, the wait paid off and Unrevoked 3.2.2 is out. I tried it on a clean laptop (nothing else installed) and after a couple of mis-starts, Unrevoked sent the phone thru its multiple boots and finally reported "Done" in its dialog box.

The phone was left on this black screen with "ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.5" at the top and a several menu choices below it in green. The instructions I'd read said that at this point if I just reboot the phone into HBOOT it should show S-OFF. So I did that and no luck... it still reads S-ON.

So my question is this... after Unrevoked said "Done" and phone was left at the ClockworkMod recovery, was I supposed to do anything else? One of the choices from that recovery menu is "apply sdcard:update.zip". Was I supposed to do that one?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

-Jac

UPDATE: I was brave enough to try the exact same unrevoked 3.2.2 procedure a 2nd time, and this time, instead of leaving the phone in the recovery screen at the end, it flashed a bunch of lines (in white) as to stuff it was changing/applying, then finally rebooted the phone. Phone came back up normal. I powered it down and rebooted into HBOOT and guess what... S-OFF! Yipee!!! Great job to the unrevoked guys.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebastienbo:
Guys,

I want to understand Android a bit better.

I'm running LeeDroid 2.2d A2SD, so all my apps are running on the SD

1) Now what is the difference between \System\app & \Data\app ?

2) Which of those two is redirected to the SD card?

3) Is there some good reasons to put an application in \system\app instead of \data\app, performance maybe ?

Thanks for the gurus that can answer these questions ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
/system/ is the system partition, under normal conditions, users do not have write access to this partion. Obviously rooting and s-off will allow write access to this partition, /data/ is the user partiton, it holds all downloaded apps in /data/app and all user data and settings in /data/data. When you use app2sd+ /data/app/ and the dalvik cache is moved to /system/sd/app and /system/sd/dalvik-cache. (the ext partition). Now although you can manually move apps to /system/app, these apps will not be updatable by normal methods, the only way to update apps on the /system/ partition is to manually replace the old .apk with the updated version. One great way ive found to increase space is to change the partition tables of the mtd partitions on your device. Basically reducing the size of the /system/ partition and adding that reclaimed space to data, there is a tut in the development section on this!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebastienbo:
QuestiOn

Ok so it is best to put launcher pro and beautifull widgets on the /system/app directory so that it can be loaded from memory instead of SD card.

So I tried to copy the launcherpro apk from /data/app to /system/app after putting the system directory in RW mount with root explorer.

But it doesnt seem to happen and after one minute the phone reboots and nothing has been done ...

Probably because launcher pro is running..

Question 1: How can I write the launcher pro and beautifull widgets apk to the /system/app directory

Question 2: What happens to the settings/data from launcher pro?

Dear all,

I am looking for a light weight app that will run a http server. I would prefer https, and cgi-bin support but not a big deal it it cannot. It should at least be secure. Configuration can be done via either a GUI or the CLI. Preferably both. I googled (well, Yahooed in my case), and looked on Android Freeware and the Market but saw nought.

Does any one of you know of one?

/EDIT

I have seen this one, but not any reviews of it:

So i am a little confused... I just got the latest OTA and now i have an option under settings-->Wireless & networks called Tethering & portable hotspot and from the looks of it i can use my phone as a wi-fi hotspot and i do not have root. So can we now use this feature with no additional cost to our plans? How does this fit into t-mobile releasing new wi-fi tethering plans starting at $15 a month.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj3102:
I just got the update too. USB tethering works fine, and to my surprise, so does the hotspot. I say surprise because I have not added the $15.00 plan to my account. The only thing is there is no direct shortcut available so i used Anycut to make one.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbssimp:
not too sure but....

I am very new to these phones in general so I am not too savey from reading other posts it sounded like t-mobile was going to give that feature free at first for a little while until they get it all straightened out. I also read that they would not use the wifi calling as your mins but I see on mine (I just got teh update like in hours ago) that it says wifi calling uses plan mins... which is just fine for me cuz i never go near my mins... so i dnk if that helps but i think for now the tethering is free but they will charge it later... but dont quote me.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krayshunist:
For them to start charging you they need to have a plan first. But even so, if they ask you to pay up I suggest canceling your current plan without an ETF and signing on for the non-contract plans. You'll save money, get a subsidized phone, and once we have root, you'll have wifi tethering again :-)

I can't get the usb tethering to work. Windows can't find the android phone driver. I've installed the android sdk. Did you do anything special to get the driver?

My goal is to USB tether my laptop.

I used pdanet successfully before the update just fine but now I have the update and want to try to use the built in usb tethering.

I manually installed the update to the G2 so I had tethering and the wifi hotspot. The wifi hotspot worked awesome with my laptop and I went to try the USB tethering to my desktop, but windows 7 couldnt find the correct driver to use. I hunted around the forums and google'd a few different things, but came up empty. I am wondering if anyone else has found the solution to this yet and could please share.

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and my G2 is running 2.2 build 1.22.531.8

Thanks in advance
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -FuRBz-:
i saw the new settings as well but i dont think it will be free... tmo did release (or is going to release) a tethering plan for $15. I've been using wifi calling at home, i checked my usage and is coming under T-Mobile HotSpot--- im under a grandfathered plan

i guess if you are planning to use the hotspot i would be careful not to incur any data fees
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maliedoo:

...one more thing, are all of you not able to use the wifi hotspot settings? I see a lot of people rooting their phones to be able to run a wifi hotspot. If so, why are only a few people able to do this, including myself.

thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sh4d0w940:
When my desire Z had the stock rom it had no problems with wifi or usb tether, so it might be T-Mobile trying to sell their tethering plan with the g2.

[Vibrant Accessories] Oldcarnut:
The tabs of the mount are bendable. It is made to fit iphones with different style cases so it is adaptable to many different sizes. The look is also very clean and minimal which is what i was looking for. I am sure it wiould fit with a bunch of different cases. As for the camera i will have to look but i dont think it bolcks the camera. When/If you order make sure you get the PED3 FORM mount.
