[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazz9690:
So I read the wiki and I see what you mean now between the fake s-off and full s-off.

I too did the rage method months ago and am wondering if there are any advantages of using gfree to get the true s-off, besides the safety issue. I have successfully unrooted my G2 using this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831398 so I am pretty sure that I will not have any troubles if I need to revert to stock in case of a warranty issue.

If I do end up doing a warranty exchange, I will reroot using gfree, but should I run gfree now regardless?

Also, will doing gfree make this process easier of reverting to stock? From reading the wiki, it doesn't specify if I have permarooted using rage if I need to unroot to do the gfree way or if I can just do it over my currently rooted phone.

Or maybe it did and I just missed it XD

Sorry for the length and barrage of questions, but I don't wanna screw this up!

Also, sorry if I thread jacked, didn't mean to, but I didn't see the point in starting a new thread for the same question, just a bit more detailed in questioning.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaelia:
I went through the whole wiki and had the same questions you saved me a whole lot of typing.

G2 cm6.1.1
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
The advantages are that full radio S-OFF can help you recover from certain conditions. e.g. on the Desire Z, some users flashed the 1.72 OTA update and found then that they couldn't root it. But those who had radio S-OFF were able to downgrade back to 1.34 and root again. Those with the "fake" S-OFF lost their S-OFF because a stock hboot was flashed, and they couldn't downgrade so are currently stuck without root.

Yes, I highly recommend that you do.

It doesn't really make any difference to going back to stock. You can undo gfree with certain options to the command (see the Wiki for details). Downgrading with the full radio S-OFF is safer too, because you keep the S-OFF (until you remove it via gfree).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazz9690:
Thank you for the explanation, you sold me on gfree, but I'm not 100% sure on that last part steviewevie. So you are saying that I can run gfree in my current permrooted state with the fake s-off that I have with the hacked hboot? I do not need to unroot first and can just run gfree on top of what I already have?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
Yes, you can run gfree on top of your already permrooted and ENG Hboot. That's exactly what I did.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaelia:
Thanks for all the help guys it is appreciated

G2 cm6.1.1
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazz9690:
Agreed. I appreciate it as well.

So, I'm looking at the wiki right now, and I don't need to start from the beginning of the process, or do I?

Where exactly did you begin the process joemm?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaelia:
Got it if already permrooted and running a custom kernel you have to flash an older kernel for it to work I had a backup of the stock rom I flashed then push the gfree to data/local ran the commands given and am good to go now thank you all for the help

G2 cm6.1.1
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazz9690:
Ok so I ran gfree and it worked great. I just restored my backup of CM6 that I had and everything looks good.

Now final question, do I have to reflash the hboot now that I have true s-off?

I know flashing hboot is unnecessary, but I do use fastboot flash from time to time.

Also, I downloaded the hboot, but when I do a md5 checksum of the extracted file like it does on the wiki, it says md5sum not found. Any reason as to why?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
Start from here:

"gfree version 0.02 and its options

Since the current version 0.02 gfree supports the following options:

gfree usage:
gfree [-h|-?|--help] [-v|--version] [-s|--secu_flag on|off]
-h | -? | --help: display this message
-v | --version: display program version
-s | --secu_flag on|off: turn secu_flag on or off
-c | --cid <CID>: set the CID to the 8-char long CID
-S | --sim_unlock: remove the SIMLOCK

-f | --free_all: same as --secu_flag off --sim_unlock --cid 11111111

In the following steps the -f will be used to mimic the behavior of the original gfree version that will do radio S-OFF, Super-CID and simunlock in one go.

If you are only interested in permanent root you only need radio S-OFF and then it is sufficient to use

# ./gfree -s off

instead of

# ./gfree -f

in the following commands.

And gfree can now also be used to set radio S-ON by using the "-s on" option and to change the CID back to the original value be using i.e. "-c T-MOB010" if you want or have to go back. In addition since version 0.03 gfree can also be used t just to remove the write protection from the emmc and remove the kernels write filter to the radion partitions by using the "-w" option. This is handy if you want to restore your partition 7 backup.

ON YOUR PC:

Unzip gfree_02.zip to a place on your computer. Navigate to where the files are on your computer, and type:

$ adb push gfree /data/local

Gfree should now be in your phone at /data/local

ON YOUR PHONE:

You should still have terminal emulator up, at a root prompt from earlier.

Now run:

# cd /data/local
# chmod 777 gfree
# ./gfree -f
# sync

You now have read-write access to your /system, hboot, and recovery partitions. But you still need to "lock in" root, and give you 'su' access in the future. So just do:

# /data/local/tmp/root
# sync

Wait a few seconds for the changes to "take".

Now reboot your phone.

Congratulations! You're perma-rooted, radio S-OFF, and should have read-write access to your /system! But more than that, your phone should also be SIM-unlocked, so that you can use a SIM card from any carrier (T-Mobile, AT&T, Vodofone, etc.) See below for more info about that.

At this point you might consider downloading the 'Rom Manager app from the Android market and using it to install the Clockwork recovery and back up via the nandroid "backup" option should things go terribly wrong for you in the next (optional) step.

Also, gfree created a backup of your original partition 7 at /sdcard/part7backup-<time>.bin -- You might consider copying this to a safe location on your computer!"

For those who want to know where this info comes from its here at the HTC Vision Wiki: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazz9690:
Thanks, yeah, I bit the bullet and thankfully started from there.

But now I have a new question.

Do have to reflash the hboot now that I have done the gfree method and now have true s-off instead of the fake s-off and the hacked hboot?

Do you know?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
No you dont have to reflash the ENG Hboot, turn your phone off, then volume-down+power and on the first screen with the skateboarding andriod it will tell you on the first line "ENG S-OFF" which means you still have your ENG. Hboot, so you will be able to use fastboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazz9690:
Yeah I saw that but I just wanted to double check my assumption. Thank you for your help! I am all set now and worry free!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
Yes you are , have fun flashing.:D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazz9690:
Thank you I will. Now say, that I have to return my phone for warranty, I no longer have to change the version number of the pc10img.zip to revert back to stock like I used to have to do in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831398

since I have true s-off now. I can just flash the pc10img.zip and not have to worry about any repercussions by doing this, correct?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
I just ran an experiment on my phone. Even if you rooted using Rage, gfree will still unlock everything.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
I would say yes, you can just flash the pc10img.zip if you have gfree'd your phone with true radio s-off. I have not personally tried it myself, so again this is just my assumption, but found a few other post to agree with this:

Found these quotes here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=838484&highlight=gfree&page=6

And heres a quote from someone who said they did flash pc10img after gfree with no issues:

And when he says if you have a hack hboot, he means if that's all you have just root with ENG. Hboot, and not gfree. So it sounds like you should have no problems.

Hey.

I am new at this and I just rooted the phone (I think) and then I downloaded Rom manager from market and then I clicked the Flash clockworkmod recovery, and every time I click it, it give me error:

"An error occurred while downloading your recovery"

I have also uninstalled and reinstalled rom manager, but still getting same error....

How do I download clockworkmod recovery?

Please help.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
Here you go.

Do at your own risk, I'm not responsible for damage to your phone. I dunno everyone says that, so I might as well.

clockworkmod recovery is nothing more than an update.zip that you apply.

-place the update.zip onto internal 16gb root

-reboot phone into recovery mode

-choose reinstall packages

-phone might reboot and go back into normal recovery, dont worry, just reinstall packages one more time, you should now be in cwm.

Here is the update.zip for cwm I uploaded for you on sendspace. Download and apply at your own risk, I'm not responsible for damage to your phone.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scrued:
make sure its the update.zip from rom manager. download a copy of the CWM file and rename it update.zip and make sure there is no other "update.zip" in the root of your sd card.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] starfly2:
Hello,

Ive got an new SE Xperia Mini ( Absolutly new to Android, Linux user since years ).And thats my Problem...

How to root the 2.0.2.A.0.24 Firmware of my Xperia Mini ?!

1. Install rooted System ( But how, i cant install XRecovery Rooted, because the new version is ALREADY ON the phone )

2. Downgrade it.. Okay, but with Linux and Windows in VMWare i cant get the Phone get Recognized in "Flashing" mode ( It is not attatched in Flash mode ( green LED ) and starts after releasing the Button normaly )

So whats the "gentle" way to root my Xperia with this version ?

Any Standalone Root Programs in beta Status ? Or any Other Suggestion ?

Like i said, i cant Put the Phone recognized by Windows in the Flashmode.

Downgrading, other Options, what to do in my case ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tarekeldeeb:
I was just going to post my first thread when I saw yours. I am just as that guy .. newbie to android (not linux) .. got X10 Mini .. upgrade to that firmware without seeing its blockage to rooting. .. So .. now what?

I have a secondary windows PC, how do I do a downgrade so I can then do: > root > xRecovery > flash pre-rooted ROM (there r some howtos)

But I dont' know how to downgrade!

Please help me as well.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Aikaryu:
I have just exactly the same problem! Isn't there something we can do? Where can I downgrade so I can fully upgrade to a pre-rooted fw?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] KamalKhattak:
You have to connect it to SE update service at least once so that windows install the drivers needed. Than connect in flash mode in flasher than it will recognize it.

Good Luck.:D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tarekeldeeb:
Thanks Kamal,

Can you tell it in more details?

I have already installed the latest update through windows, so I should already have the drivers.

1- How do I connect in flash mode?

2- Is the `flasher' a program? Where do I find it? How can i get the pre-rooted ROM?

Thanks in advance,

Tarek

So theres actually no NON WINDOWS method ?

Or an Method without "real" windows... Like from an Sd Card etc ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] KamalKhattak:
Downgrading is only possible by windows. After downgrading root with z4root and install xrecovery than upgrade again with the flasher and install rooted system via xrecovery.

Hi there,

I want to execute a simple counter once the user taps on a button.

However, my idea is to mimic (somehow) the numericupdown, so the counter is continously run as long as the button is pressed down.

Must terminate once the button is released up.

Is that possible ? If so, how?

The ManipulationDelta is close, but requires gestures, and I don't need/want that in this app.

In the event (Click??) I need to perform this

Dist= CInt(Me.TextBlock_Distance.Text) + 5

If Dist<= Min Then Dist= 0

Me.TextBlock_Distance.Text = Dist.ToString

I think the events you are looking for are MouseLeftButtonDown and MouseLeftButtonUp. MouseLeftButtonDown will fire repeatedly while the button is pressed, MouseLeftButtonUp will fire once the button is released.
