[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kc_sheets:
ok I have done the manual root method, (by zikronix ) was getting radio_pu errors but i had root access and s-off, could not use a rom it would error out, i had to use the stock 3.30 pc36img.zip from (aegiswa

http://www.morninglion.com/tp2martin...209_signed.zip from ) to make my phone work. So phone is working and I tried flashing (fresh, calkulins) rom, every time i load into recovery it says (E: invalid command argument), i have a hw 003, im glad i have root. but i cannot use a custom rom and when this new update keeps asking me to install it fails, and when i tried to dl the one provided and apply through recovery it failed and i had to reload the pc36img

this is becoming a hassle. can anyone help!! also when i make a recovery point just 30 min ago after reinstall and removing base apps, my phone restarted failed and i had to reload again.

i get this when loading a rom

assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img". "boot")

E:error in /sdcard/fresh-evo-3.4.0.1.zip

[Wildfire General] fusk:
i am wondering, what is the kernal, what does it do, is it separate from the rom, or do those two stick together?

Could i, when 2.2 comes, keep stock 2.2 rom, and install another kernal that allows for overclocking, patched marked and so forth?

When installing a custom rom and kernal, does the devs send updates ota, or you have to update manually?

If you have a stock rom, and installs a different kernal, can you still install updates received from htc?

I am wanting to at WI-FI tethering.

The article in the link describes it:

*****//community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/94/p/3692/15369.aspx*****

(I am not allowed to post outside link yet since I am new user)

Seems simple enough but I still have some concerns:

1) the backup program suggested "Titanium" indicates that itself needs a rooted device.

2) Does this wipe all user data, installed applications, etc?

3) Is there a way to tether without rooting and without $30.00 per month Sprint charge?

TIA,

Lance

[Galaxy S I9000 General] r1_2010:
Hi Guys,

i've followed the instructions and successfully upgraded to JPO (ive rooted it if that makes a diff). However, I am now having a problem synching from the backup i made prior to updating my phone.

I don't mind so much the contacts... but the photos... some of these are very sentimental to me. I'm using the latest version of kies (1.5.3) on windows 7.

Does anybody have any advice or seen similar issues? Alternativey does anybody know any way I can open the .sbu files that kies makes when it does backups so i could pull the photos out of that?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] r1_2010:
tried an older version of kies.... same problem.... anybody any suggestions ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] r1_2010:
Okay... i found the problem.

I had the OCLF v2.2 installed... if you remove this lag fix and then try and synch with kies... bingo no probs.

I'm going to check to see if this is a known issue/bug and let the developer know.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seking:
I have installed OCLF 2.2. My software is official. i.e the original rom. But still I have problem of saving the contacts to PC. It is giving a message that the phone is in use.:confused:

My roommate was playing Angry Birds and Verizon sent me the update. She hit later for the update... but now if I go into settings it won't let me update. How do I fix this?
[Droid 2 General] JDunc:
Id try rebooting phone a few times or factory reset.
[Droid 2 General] mistermartian:
I've rebooted plenty of times and nothing. I've also toggled wifi and GPS (as other forums suggested) to trigger the update. It's been almost 24 hours now since it said it would update in 12 hours. I called Verizon and the update is out of their hands. They held a conference with Motorola and the lady said she couldn't guarentee a time frame but that it would roll around... That's stupid to me.
[Droid 2 General] Rav20:
just going to ask did you go to settings-about phone-system update? if you hit the download later it doesn't resend the update, your phone is already flagged for the update you just need to look for it.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] tjl_48:
Yesterday I sold my Hero and picked up an Evo. I got a call from the guy I sold it to today saying he couldn't activate it because I have it rooted with CM6. Do I just install one of the stock RUU to get it to work for him? Will doing that unroot the phone? I need to figure out how to get it to activate on Sprint for him.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tipharet:
Yes, this goes in Q&A but with CM6 the phone codes do not work and will be needed for activation, just run the stock RUU.

You can buy prepaid and use outside the US, if you can get them to unlock the SIM.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstmcarr:
I too am a visual learner as well, but give it time. Root was obtained 2 days ago and it is like a new toy at christmas. Those who worked on obtaining root are working on the next step and those who manually rooted their phones are now in that happy place we all remember from our youth.

Good things come to those who wait, patience is a virtue...all that good stuff.

I am not trying to be rough on the OP. I too like videos to show me how things work. But please understand that the act of making the video, hosting the video, posting the video link would take about twice as long as actually rooting the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totaldrk62:
Go here and follow the directions.

If you don't have ADB and need to install it go here and follow the directions.

If you need the driver for the G2 after you've installed ADB go here. All of that is simple to do if you just read the directions. If you can't be bothered to simply read the directions then I can't really help you. This is the rage root technique, not the Visionary. I tried rooting my phone via Visionary and it didn't work so I just went the manual method and it worked flawlessly.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyrcncp:
Wow...the nerve to make a thread like this. Not only was the root finding process long, but everyone involved was kind enough to share it with everyone and within hours there were easy to follow threads on how to root the phone.

You "don't know where to start"? C'mon now...you can't seriously tell me that you cannot follow:

Download files

Push files

Type commands

Rooted

Do you need a video to do your job as well? Did you need (or do you need) a video to follow a class in school? Sorry if I'm being an assh0le, but geez...seriously.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sv3nt3k:
Not to mention the video might not be incredibly exciting. Seriously, there's not a whole lot to it that would require a video tutorial. You're just moving files and typing in a few things (carefully) and you're done.

I thought about it but don't really want unroot just to root again for a tutorial.

adb + mac + rooting

A very helpful and straightforward post on how to set up/run adb on a mac for all you mac users out there: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5938688&postcount=9

Once you've managed to run adb, the rest is pretty easy as long as you read through it carefully.

Type in: 'adb --help' to get a list of commands you can put in. If you read through it you should see all the commands you need to get started in rooting your phone. Is all you really need to know like xyrcncp posted is:

The above combined with the instructions on how to root will help you get to the finish line.

Still confused on this whole 'push' concept?

Here are two references that might help:

From the Android developers site: Android Debug Bridge (adb)

and

From androidforums.com: How to push for dummies

I hope that helps, even if it isn't a video. I suggest people read through the instructions before they attempt to root their phones just so they're familiar with what they need to do.

Check out my Youtube channel, I have a video up now.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sv3nt3k:
The "helpful" part was us sending the message across that "it's easy to do and not worth the effort for a video." Which I'd also bargain was "constructive" as we weren't insulting, bashing, or doing personal attacks.

But now that someone took it upon themselves to make a video, the OP and visual learners should be happy.

[Windows Phone 7 General] bugsykoosh:
it works (as I did it:)) and if the drivers don't install then make sure you have Zune isntalled. You can also try to choose the third option on the usb option screen - it'll dump more drivers onto your PC.

(Its going to general because it does not directly change things in WP7 and neither is driver installation to allow tethering something that belongs in WP7 Development.)

works as described :D, not planning to use it everyday (it's bit slow for my liking) but good to there is a workaround in case of emergency.

OK I think this thread could be a good asset to help out this section and prevent new post asking the same questions. A similar thread in Chefs Central for Windows has done very well. See the thread here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=713447

When you have a problem issue or Request Title you thread appropriately:

[Problem]

[REQ]

etc.

When your problem has been solved edit your first post with the fix and change the Title to SOLVED.

This way a moderator can copy and link to this problem as solved. This will help others to find answers to known problems in one place.

I think this should also be a Sticky thread.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bitmastro:
if you have adb and superuser (h**p://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7239659&postcount=3 you need to grand permission from the phone when you type su)

adb shell
su
mount -o bind /sdcard/external_sd /sdcard/sd

this should last until you reboot.

why don't you just remove the app and reinstall? it's way safer, if you don't know about the previous commands.

[7 Mozart Accessories] GenkaiMade:
Considering that it's not really that much bigger than what we currently have, is it really worth it? Please tell us how they are when you get them!

Personally I'm holding back for something with a bigger capacity atm, provided you two can't prove me wrong in thinking that the above battery isn't big enough to warrant its price :P
[7 Mozart Accessories] rachnov55:
you're not going to get a much bigger battery on the mozart due to the design of its casing that does not allow for 3rd party battery covers, hence the batteries have to be of the same size unlike the extended batterys that were available previously for earlier HTC models.

from what I've heard from people who've used this battery, it gives about 6 hrs extra from heavy usage, which isn't that bad
[7 Mozart Accessories] d.cortez:
i'm hoping the additional 500 mAh will provide some benefit. Mugen's batteries have worked well for me in the past, so i'm expecting the same improved battery life. in the US, the T-Mobile G2 battery also works with the Mozart and costs about $35 US dollars. for me it's worth paying $10 more for a battery that provides about 40% more mAh.

[7 Mozart Accessories] d.cortez:

[7 Mozart Accessories] nok_fusion:
i'm in the 3rd cycle of charges/discharges(it must make five cycle to have the complete power of the battery) i connect off my phone since 9.am it's now almost 5.pm & the percentage of the battery is near to 70%,very impressive :)

i take 3-4 call(25-30mn in all),send messages,listen music during one hour with equlizer,my E-mails is synchronized,luminosity to automatic( i put it usually on "low") & go to internet with 3g mode,go to other apps in wifi,...

i will post later when the complete cycle of chargers/dischargers are done :cool:
[7 Mozart Accessories] d.cortez:
i'm on cycle 1 and my results are not as good: Monday my phone lasted 12 hours (3% power remaining). i had 113 push emails to one account (19 replies via the phone), 15 push emails to another account, 94 minutes of calls, bluetooth on for 8 hours, 40 minutes of call on bluetooth and 27 text msgs. for me this is an above average use day. will use another 2 days before my next follow up.

I just ordered one of these, my battery lasts about 1 day but not much more, this should help.

Of course the other benefit is that you also have a spare battery, so you can take both the new and old one on a trip to hopefully get 2-3 days on the go.
[7 Mozart Accessories] nok_fusion:
so i give you my feedback after couple weeks that i use the mugen battery,i respect all the steps they have given on the user manual for the first 4-5 charges,i can use my phone between 24-28 hours for heavy use,i'm very happy to the battery now,i won 30-40% more battery life.so people who they have a moderate use u can use it for 2 full days :)
