[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysamvib10:
Hi, im not very informed about 'Rooted' phones but I bought a Samsung Vibrant already rooted. I do see a "Superuser Permission" on my phone, Samsung told me to look for it and that means that has been rooted. Is my phone able to recieve updates from Samsung or Tmob when they are recomended? And what is the best purpose for a rooted phone? I did want it in the rooted state because i've heard that it allows you to add more to it, but what would that be?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MilkPudding:
All of your questions can be found when you google or just use the search function in the forum. And people will be very mean when you ask simple questions that can be found easily by using the search button. You've been warned.

That being said...

1. Yes you will be able to receive official updates as long as you are on the firmware that the updates are targeting at.

2. Best purpose? Customization.

3. Almost anything from how your phone looks to how your phone uses its power and resources. You will be able to see what I mean soon.

[Desire General] Lothaen:
Grabbed this - its nice its smaller than the last release, but I still think it'd be nicer if they could have shipped off the 4.5mb(?) apk to the sd card... I am still teetering on the edge of having the annoying 'you are low on space' message everytime my cache on maps/facebook gets too large.
[Desire General] saiprasad30:
Yeah.. It downloads at 4.5Mb but installs at 16.34MB. It's annoying How phone manufacturers missed out on giving us more internal memory or providing complete App2SD thing
[Desire General] sheik_yerbouti:
Thanks for the heads-up.

BTW guys, I just installed a custom ROM that had A2SD+(LeeDroid), and I've never had to worry about the low disk space error. I hope you could try it too.
[Desire General] _Dennis_:
You would get decreased performance and it would not work when SD card is mounted on your PC if placed on SD card with froyo apps2sd
[Desire General] w.0.o.t:
been using A2SD+ for awhile now (which is different from froyo A2SD) and i don't notice decrease in performance at all
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Stock FroYo A2SD won't allow it to be moved as it's a system app. only using A2SD+ in a custom ROM will move it (and it has no affect on performance)
[Desire General] foxmeister:
FWIW, I'm using "Stock Froyo A2SD" on a custom ROM (MCR9) and I've moved Flash to SD card (i.e. on the FAT32 partition) without issue and there's no performance penalty.

I can't see any reason why I'd want to use Flash whilst my SD card is mounted on my PC, so this has never been an issue IMHO.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] bradavon:
Thanks for this but I was forced to revert back to the prior version. It took up a whopping 12Mb storage space and there's no way I can afford to lose that. As I'm all Stock Froyo I cannot move anything to do with Flash :(.

My phone then starting complaining that it's run out of space. Grrr.

@tnakir - thanks - I'm not sure I'm finding that too funny right now as I'm left with a £360 paper weight!

@CrazyPeter - The power pack of a laptop charger was dropped on the phone from about 2ft :(
[Legend General] dirkkuyken:
if your screen still works (amoled, the colory stuff) but you can't touch it

just get yourself a new digitizer

http://cgi.ebay.com/LCD-Touch-Scree...561542?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4aa50b4e86

costs about 25-35

else get yourself a new digitizer and new display...

total costs about 100-135

good luck
[Legend General] c_man:
Thanks for the info Dirk.

Unfortunately the 'screen' is now blank, nothing displays on it at all, the only things that light up are the 4 buttons at the bottom and also the notification LED by the earpiece.

I saw the digitizer costs were quite cheap but I think I'm going to need a whole new display....
[Legend General] BlaY0:
But phone itself works? Does adb find it? Can you do adb shell?

Sent from my HTC Legend
[Legend General] c_man:
@BlaY0 - good point. I *think* it works but as the screen is blank I have not been able to make sure all is well under the screen. The fact that the 4 buttons light up when I push the power button, and the LED was flashing, indicates it may be ok.

I am guessing the ADB shell method would be a way to be 100% sure it's working, right? I've not needed to use ADB yet ...mainly because I don't know how :o - I've only used the the Windows command prompt when I rooted the phone.

Any tips on what I can do to ensure the phone is still working , via the ADB method please?

It would be good to find out, as I have now received two quotes [£100 and £90] to have a new digitizer and new screen installed. Obviously I want to make sure everything else is working before I send my phone for repair!

Tips appreciated!
[Legend General] c_man:
Once I get the SDK installed and fire up my terminal [OSX 10.62], can I issue the following two commands:

adb kill-server
adb devices

..and if I see the following:

* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
[COLOR="Orange"]my Legend should appear here right?[/COLOR]

1] Does the above suggest the Legend is still alive and well? Or should I do anything else to ensure the phone itself is still 'working'?

2] Because my screen doesn't work, I will not be able to tell what state my phone is in, on or off! I can only guess after pressing the power button. I presume in order to ADB shell to the Legend, the Legend needs to be on, connected to Mac via USB and in 'charging' state. But I cannot ensure this due to the screen being blank. Can anyone suggest how I can still ADB shell to the Legend ?

:confused:
[Legend General] g0dshead:
Shame m8 , horrible when this kinda stuff happens , i have learned from the past when similar thing occured to my phone (HTC wizzard got stuck between the chair and the rails of my carseat) perforating my screen. Since then i always made sure to close an ensurance on my new phones.

Hope you have one?

either way good luck with it m8.
[Legend General] BlaY0:
@c_man:

adb devices tells U if your phone is on or off. As soon as it vibrates when turning on it means kernel is loading. Then shortly after kernel loads, U should be able to adb shell into it. You get unix-like command prompt and you can issue shell commands. ps command lists all processes currently running. mount shows mounted partitions...

There's also a shutdown command which U can use to U know what.

If all that work, I guess your phone is alive, just blind.

Sent from my HTC Legend
[Legend General] c_man:
@BlaY0 - thanks so much! So as long as I can feel it vibrate after turning on, I'll leave it for say, 1min, and then try to ADB.

If, after issuing the command 'adb devices', my Legend responds, then it is alive! (as I understand it).

(if any of the above is incorrect - feel free to correct me).

There is no point me sending it for display repair if the phone doesn't respond via ABD, I assume.

I'll update here once I've done the above...
[Legend General] c_man:
Right then!

What other commands can I issue to check the phone is okay?

Holy crap. How could anyone do this to our dear Legend? How could you? You're lucky only the screen is damaged.
[Legend General] c_man:
I'm back! :D

Got my Legend fixed earlier this evening by these guys: http://www.spsmobile.co.uk/

They were one of few who were adament they use genuine parts [they allowed me to inspect the parts before installation] AND allowed me to wait whilst they work on it.

Abolutely disgusting/poor customer service and general attitute towards their customers... though the main thing is my Legend is all well again !

Oh, it cost £70 for display + digitizer + installation.
[Legend General] AndyCr15:
Doesn't sound good? So, you would recommend them or not?
[Legend General] c_man:
Well they took offence at me wanting to verify how genuine the parts were, in a big way.

They then proceeded to tell me to take my business elsewhere, that they can't believe I was questioning them, that they've been running 11 years and not once had someone question how genuine the parts are!! Hmm... yeah right.

When I saw them unwrap the display and digitizer out of toilet paper, I felt I was WELL within my rights to question! Also, seeing the engineer wiping away remains/dirt off the internals of the phone with a TOOTHBRUSH didnt fill me with confidence. The working environment was not your typical engineer-type-workstation, no engineer-like-tools, and all three 'engineers' are Romanian... so don't expect their English to be top notch.

To top it all off, they only accept cash.

I wouldn't recommend leaving your phone with them.

If you were wiling to wait whilst they fix (like me), then they are competitively priced, as the cheapest quotes I had got were £100 and £90.... opposed to £70 from they guys.... so it's worth keeping in mind.
[Legend General] AndyCr15:
Wow, certainly sound a little dodgy...

So they weren't genuine? Did they show you packaging or anything?
[Legend General] c_man:
Looked genuine to me. Plus, they agreed for me to compare the damaged one [once taken out] against the 'new' one , side by side. Again, everything looked good (believe me, I compared EVERYTHING).

The fact that I saw no packing/invoice from HTC but instead saw them take it out of toilet role (or something similar) led me to believe that possibly, it was a digitizer/display from another Legend, that perhaps had died. I don't know. It certainly didn't appear second hand, pre-used, etc.

If I didn't think it was genuine, I would not have proceeded with the fix.
[Legend General] sj89:
China all the way... yea i have seen kinda stuff before, wiping from toothbrush i had nokia phone and the keys stopped working i showed them my phone took out the cover brushed the keys and vola worked. After couple of months the keys stopped working again i took out the cover myself n brushed the keys it works jst learn n learn full of possibilities ;D

They order parts from China it's very cheap wouldn't even cost them 20£/Pc

Now that we have permanent root, is there anyway we can get a clockwork mod working on out phone?

EDIT: ClockworkMod now available...MUST BE ON WIFI TO FIND
[myTouch 4G General] mixer5911:
I read on twitter they're porting the recovery images for our phones and it should be ready soon
[myTouch 4G General] PolishDude:
things are about to get very exciting lol
[myTouch 4G General] VibrantOwnr:
sounds awesome. thanks for the great news
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
This is awesome... :D
[myTouch 4G General] gaww:
Hope they get it going soon. I got ahead of the game, and had their ROM manager installed and flashed the alternate recovery (all this after permanent root).

It does not work (works great on N1 - but not on this one yet).

Do not think anything else is messed up (as when selecting recovery at hboot - it shows stock options and then an error message further down...).

I thinks as soon as Clockworkmod gets the MT4G setup and it appears in the choice of devices, it should be easy to just flash their recovery over the one that I flashed earlier.
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
The "alternate recovery" in ClockWorkMod is Amon Ra Recovery (arguably better). I'm such he's working for a port for all the devices that got permrooted yesterday.
[myTouch 4G General] option94:
kmobs has it running now. Not sure when it will be released though.
[myTouch 4G General] mixer5911:
Dang they already have roms for the g2! I wonder if we'll get any love for the mt4g
[myTouch 4G General] krypto16:
Not until some devs pickup the phone. It is good that Kmobs has one cuz he may get the ball rolling but most devs (at least the ones I follow) all picked up a G2. Be patient though, I thought the MTslide was dead a few months back but there are still ROMs being released over there.
[myTouch 4G General] civicvx94:
I think well be in luck with support.this phone is a whole different beast from the mt3g and hopefully much more appealing to devs, as it is consumers. Also,I think KingKlick has one and he made some great roms for the N1
[myTouch 4G General] Gr8gorilla:
OMG please no! I would almost bet that if his account is unbanned that you won't see any roms from him until after someone else posts one.
[myTouch 4G General] unremarked:
To be fair, the ROM they have on the G2 forums is from the HTC Desire Z which is the exact same identical device as the G2.

Which makes me wonder if it'll be possible to load the Desire HD ROM without much porting work needing to be done given the similarities in internals.
[myTouch 4G General] PolishDude:
lol just what i posted asking
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
What did he get banned for? I came from the Evo section, so all I ever saw was his kernels popping up.
[myTouch 4G General] gaww:
They have ported over Rom Manager and their recovery to handle the GT already. I am hoping that they do so for the MT4G soon, as I do not have a working recovery right now.
[myTouch 4G General] unremarked:
Supposedly, he was taking ROMs from the other devs in the Nexus One forms, tweaking them just ever so slightly, then re-releasing them as his own creation with no credit due.

Emphasis on the supposedly.

it may be like the G2 where you have to be on wifi for it to find the mt4g?

Its just the same thing we have minus the bloatware
[myTouch 4G General] bubonik:
Yea I just confirmed that on my own. I was hoping we would not need to change the bootloader but, we do in fact.
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
Then you didn't flash clockwork in rom manager. The red exclamation point is the standard recovery.
[myTouch 4G General] losinc:
strange because when i launch rom manager i get "current recovery: ClockworkMod2.5.1.2"
[myTouch 4G General] cal3thousand:
ahhhahaahaaaaaaaa!!!!!
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
It's pulling that information from it's own logs that are stored on your sd card, not from what's actually on the phone. OEM roms reinstall oem recovery on boot, so after you flashed CWM, android reinstalled oem recovery, leaving the logs on the sdcard behind to tell rom manager that CWM recovery is there when it's not.

Does that make sense?
[myTouch 4G General] gaww:
I had that when I got ahead of the game, and installed the alternative recovery from an early install. ROM manage showed that I had it installed (it flashed), but it would not actually work. I got the triangle also, but when I tried to actually open recovery - I got an error message.

I spent the last day without a working recovery - better see if yours is operable

If not, uninstall ROM Manager, get on WiFi, download it again and run it. It should offer you MT4G and the flash should be good this time.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Read what I posted right above you. You didn't have to uninstall/reinstall.

All you had to do was open rom manager, reflash cwm recovery, then reflash amon ra recovery, and reboot into recovery.

Next time you want to use recovery you'd have to do this again. That's how it is with oem rooted roms. With custom roms they disable the automatic recovery restore.
[myTouch 4G General] Master_sk3:
how do i know if im s-off and does it matter if i used visionary+ r11 instead of r12? Also im having the same recovery problem as the last guy and im not sure what to do.
[myTouch 4G General] VibrantOwnr:
when i go into clockwork recovery, i get into recovery fine. after that, when i click anything (backup and restore, advanced,...) the screen goes black. if i click the power button, the menu comes back. it wont even let me reboot. I am using clockwork mod recovery version 2.5.1.2.

Any advice?

EDIT:backup works if i go directly though rom manager
