Yeah I see that part. You can get the MT4G for same as you can sell your N1 on craigslist right now.

Isnt that usually the goal ?

Not to replace but to replace as much of it as you can ? Cutting down on eye strain , repetitive typing etc would be a good thing.

A device that helps me do that is what im looking for.
[Nexus One General] Talderon:
It's actually not that bad when you have it in your hands. I'll miss my light-up trackball though. :)

I agree with the specs on the MT4G. Not THAT much of an upgrade, but an upgrade nonetheless. As for the Nexus S, it's a SAMSUNG, that alone should keep you on your toes about getting it. All kidding aside (kinda), the lack of an SD Expansion slot makes this new, shiny 32GB SD Card I just got useless.

I would return it to stock, only because it'll be less confusing for the person who'll buy it. But maybe leave a note with this URL. :)

clockworkmod is not that easy to remove - you can use nvflash and I believe at least one person has managed to backout using flash_image. I'm not sure if their OTA updates will work with cwm and you can't assume that the next person is going to root it / mod it.

If you install TnT 1.01 or 1.02, that zaps Clockwork pretty good.

See here for all versions of Wireless tether for root users. I'd try the version at the very top :D
[Droid 2 General] Comicazy:
I actually have tried this. Do I have to be running a non stock kernel or a ROM?
[Droid 2 General] sha.goyjo:
no but you do need root id0 access. Use z4root. (Do a search)
[Droid 2 General] leobg:
If you are using Droid2 Global on non-Verizon network like I do and your operator/plan allows tethering, you can use the built-in tethering app, all you need to do is to define APN for tethering ("DUN" type). D2G won't let you create "dun" type APN outright (Verizon restricted it), but there is easy way around even if you have not rooted your phone. I use that on Rogers Canada and it works flawlessly.
[Droid 2 General] sha.goyjo:
What leobg says is true but as far as I know the hotspot app doesn't allow bluetooth tether.

lots of info here: http://www.neopeek.com/en/forum/Sony-Xperia-X1
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
0. Search and research.

1. Choose what version of Android you want.

2. there will be a download link, click and download the .zip/.rar/.7z

3. Once downloaded, extract the contents on your comp.

4. Copy them to your memory card, root folder, meaning no folder, directly on the memory card.

5. Disconnect your phone from the computer. From your File Explorer, run Haret.

6. Wait and enjoy Droid. First boot usually takes a longer while. Once you are into Android completely, restart and go back into Winmo, then again start Android.

Go to settings -> wireless & network settings -> mobile networks -> uncheck "Data enabled", reboot.

Yes, the instructions in the Wiki, which you linked to in your first post above, will work fine for you. Just read them very carefully, and ask questions if you're not sure about any specific bits.

If you're going to be using adb as part of this process, then I suggest you check out this guide to help you get adb up and running on your PC - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865685

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Well done.

Have a look in the Android development forum. You'll find lots of threads there with custom ROMs. Take your time, read up and see if there's a ROM which might be good for you.

Before you leap into that, install ROM Manager on your phone, and use that to flash Clockwork Recovery, that's a custom recovery for your phone. Once you have Clockwork installed, you can do what's referred to as a "nandroid" backup of your phone, which is basically a complete dump of the phone. Do that before you try a new ROM, then if you don't like the new ROM it's incredibly easy just to restore that backup and go back to where you were.

Cyanogen's custom ROM is very very popular, but as I say, take your time and read up.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piruzinho:
thanks all for your help!

will have a look now and read up on the differences between the ROMS. I've seen tons of compliments of cyanogen's mod but will try to see the difference

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
If you install adb via the Android SDK, you should be able to extract everything you want.

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

EDIT:

install adb

use adb pull to get what ever data you are looking for, probably something in /data/data/ ??

you can use adb shell to poke around on your phone

I think you might have to be rooted. I don't have an unrooted phone to test this on.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmartHat:

Other suggestions?

If nothing else what's a quick way to wipe all data to factory defaults (without relying on a screen :( )
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
If you have Clockwork recovery, you can boot into recovery mode and use adb.

shutdown

unplug the USB and shutdown- press and hold the power button for 2 seconds, scroll down on the trackpad several times and then press the trackpad button twice. it should shut down, or else pull the battery.

reboot into recovery

hold volume "down" and press the power button for a second and release. Wait 5 seconds and then press volume "down" once and press the power button. If all goes well, the phone should vibrate briefly. Wait a few seconds and then try adb.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkeee:
Get a Ubuntu livedisk, boot from it and plug the phone in. You can see the phone's contents as well as sdcard. That would be the easiest. But if you can't do that and you have the latest clockwork mod, you will still need to mount stuff from recovery before you can access it. These instructions are relevant to the latest version (2.5+).

Once in recovery per gee one's instructions the menu is as follows:

Main Menu

- reboot system now <<- cursor

- apply sdcard:update.zip

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe cache partition

- install zip from sdcard

- backup and restore

- mounts and storage

- advanced

By default "reboot system now" is select where it says cursor. Volume up/down to go up/down and trackpad to confirm. Power is to go back. The trackpad will also navigate for you, but it's hard to control so avoid using it for movement at all costs. It is also very sensitive to double clicks, try and make your click as quick and clean as possible.

Press Volume down 6 times and you will land on mounts and storage, then press trackpad (very quickly so as not to make it register a double click).

That menu is as follows:

Mounts and Storage

- mount /system <<-cursor

- mount /data

- unmount /cache

- mount /sdcard

- mount /sd-ext

- format boot

- format system

- format data

- format cache

- format sdcard

- format sd-ext

- mount USB storage

Your cursor starts on mount /system. Press trackpad once will mount system, pressing it again will unmount. Volume down will take you to data, and so forth. Then you can access those directories from adb, and do adb pull as others have suggested. Pressing it again will unmount it, and should be done. Keep in mind it will only unmount if you close all windows that point to that directory and leave the directory in adb shell (you can leave the directory by typing "cd /" to do that). If you stay in the directory or something is pointing to it, it will cause an error.

If you're unsuccessful, you can try doing a backup from clockwork.

From the main menu, press volume down 5 times and press trackpad.

The menu that appears is as follows:

- Backup <<-cursor

- Restore

- Advanced Restore

Simply click the trackpad again and it will perform a backup.

It will save the backup of the phone to the sdcard at /clockworkmod/backup/2010-12-8.x.x.x/

After that I'm not entirely sure how to extract it, hopefully someone else can help.

But simply put, get a live CD of linux and you go to Mounts and Storage and then to mount USB storage, you should have access.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
How about "mount /system" or "mount /data" from the adb shell? This should be enough to poke around to extract files.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkeee:
*facepalm*

or that. if you go into adb shell, you can mount whatever directory and cp it to the sdcard. you can use 'umount' to unmount.

adb push/pull will not work when in adb shell, but you can easily copy it over to your sdcard with the cp command.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
I just tried finding my G2 using an ubuntu 10.10 installation- it wouldn't find my phone unless I enabled USB mode, and then it would only find the sdcard. I'm still pretty new to ubuntu, so I might be missing something. It's like a brown version of my Mac!

adb push/pull will work from the terminal command line on your computer, not the shell.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
What kind of data are you trying to extract? It might seem obvious, but I think I should ask for the sake of completeness- is the data actually in the phone or on the memory card?

Well I can get the data from the memory card via my replacement G2 or an Sd adapter...but its mainly messages and some miscellaneous content / apps I had saved on the phone itself & the settings; its not a Big deal, but its something I'd like to port over.

If I didn't have a lock on it I could've managed my way through the menus using hard keys w/ my replacement as a guide but I have no way of doing it.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
A Nandroid backup would be perfect, but you don't have root.

adb pull /data/app /somewhere/on/your/pc/app

will back up non-system apps, but not the settings or data

adb pull /data/data /somewhere/different/data

will grab your settings and data, but there is mix of other stuff in there as well that doesn't restore so well because it also contains other data. I think someone who is well versed in sqlite might be able to put it all back together.

Are there any data that you are looking for specifically? SMS? Browser bookmarks? etc?
