Would these instructions work for us cellular samsung mesmorize? I've seen a few posts about this for droid x over at droid forums. But haven't gotten a response to if it would work on my phone. That thread is months old.figured this would be simular cause our phones are similar with the pull down shade being the same and all, but didn't know if gsm to cdma would make it that much different. I need to change my carrier text terribly bad.

I have the apk which used to work before over 3G, but it doesn't seem to work anymore. :(

Does anyone have a new version of it, or know why the old hacked skype.apk doesn't work anymore? Now it just keeps telling me that my sign in name doesn't exist :rolleyes:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sosquidtaste:
I also installed the hacked APK that you're referring to. I just checked it on my and it's still working like usual. Perhaps you set it to auto-update in the Market and it got overwritten by an unhacked install? That's what happened to me, and I had to uninstall and reinstall with the hacked APK.

I could have sworn that there was a thread somewhere in these N1 forums which was all about the hacked Skype 3G APK. If you've already run a search, please ignore. If not though, I'd suggest you take a crack at the search function whenever you're in doubt.

Anyhow, I believe this is the thread where I first downloaded the working Skype 3G APK: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/78843-apks-unlocked-apps.html

At the very least, it's definitely the same dude-- I remember that username.

Good luck, and happy VOIPing :P

I'm confused. How come Skype won't work over 3G for you? It works perfectly fine for me, downloaded straight from the market. I've had hours of conversations on it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zuberio:
Skype has a contract with Verizon in the States to only do 3G Skype with them. It's restricted to Wifi only on all other carriers.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Clarkster:
Oh that must really suck. And here I thought the carriers in Canada sucked. At least I get Skype over 3G here. Canada only mostly sucks now. :)

You need andriod to boot to use ADB,

You dont need andriod to boot to use fastboot, you can enter fastboot from recovery.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
Oh, well I dont think I know of any other way, so you push recovery from terminal emulator and now you cant get to terminal emulator, right?

The only thing I can think of is get AndriodSDK up and running so you can flash from fastboot.

Hopefully someone else has some other ideas, good luck.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
That sucks bro, well I hope someone has a way around this for you, I know that Ive been keeping up with both of the CM7 threads and there were lots of warnings ( even from Cyanogen himself) to people about flashing unstable builds, Im pretty familiar with all this stuff, using ADB, fastboot etc. and even then Im still leary about flashing CM7.0 rc0. I dont feel like beta testing with my $500 phone, I know none of this helps you right now but maybe it will help someone else before they flash things without knowing how to use AndridoSDK, ADB etc.

Good Luck, keep searching maybe something else will come up.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] quail:
I hold no responsibility to how you use or not use this info and if you brick phone - you do this at your own risk

There is a couple away you can go about gaining root access with this phone I have tested all 3 ways but only had success with 2 of them.

a) You can download 'z4root' from the Android Market (If is still available) or search XDA forums for it.

b) Search the XDA forums for 'SuperOneClick' which requires mono to work on Linux. I have read people that have had success with 'SuperOneClick' but that was not the case for me.

c)

My preferred method:

Prerequisite:

knowledge of Linux and Terminal

knowledge of ADB (guide available in forums)

I did all this using Debian (testing) 64bit, Android SDK.

Creating correct permissions to access the phone via USB:

i) create

/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

ii) in the file put

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="12d1", MODE="0666"

iii) then

chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

iv) restart udev or reboot

Downloading and/or Installing required software:

1) Downloading and installing the android-sdk from: developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

2) Downloading and extracting 'SuperOneClick' (you will only need these 5 files: rageagainstthecage, sqlite3, su, busybox and superuser.apk)

3) Copy rageagainstthecage, sqlite3, su, busybox and superuser.apk into the platform-tools directory of android-sdk. Put phone in debug mode.

4) From a terminal (command line) change to the android/platform-tools directory and carefully do these steps.

Check to see if adb can see your phone properly:

./adb devices

You should see the serial number of you device, if you see bunch of '?' you have done something wrong.

Now for the fun part rooting the phone: <= no phun intended hehe

./adb push rageagainstthecage /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage

./adb shell

cd /data/local/tmp

chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage

./rageagainstthecage

5) Now wait until you get kicked out from adb before you do the following:

./adb shell

If everything worked now you should see a "#" instead of the "$" you saw previously in the adb shell which means you shouldn't get "permission denied" in the following steps:

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mdtblock4 /system

exit

./adb push su /system/bin/su

./adb push busybox /system/bin/busybox

./adb push sqlite3 /system/bin/sqlite3

./adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk

./adb shell

cd /system/bin

chmod 4755 su

chmod 4755 busybox

chmod 4755 sqlite3

./adb reboot

Now you should be able to use apps like 'Cache Cleaner NG', 'Root Explorer', 'SetCPU' etc that require root access to work correctly.

Enjoy

Guide reflash FW for those who did some damage:

* Download from here that you want to install the FW

* Copy the folder in the microSD DLOAD (with the file inside UPADATE.APP)

* From phone off, Volume + Hold down RED BUTTON UP and power button.

* start the firmware upgrade, take a few minutes and then restart the phone . is a bit slow, do not be afraid, let him work and then back on (like the first time)

Help to get into recovery mode:

* down the 'volume up 'and 'green button'and then switch the device

Guide to bootloader mode:

* switch off, press and hold power button + volume down + red key

Thanks man,

Just worked perfectly on my IDEOS brought from 2degrees in NZ.

The copy of SuperOneClick that I downloaded contained a file called su-v2 instead of su. In order to get the hack to work I had to rename su-v2 to su before running ./rageagainstthecage . Pretty obvious, but it might help someone out.

awsome thread!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] knightnz:
Just rooted the workmates phone using SuperOneClick from http://shortfuse.org/?page_id=2.

Pretty easy:

Install the base Android SDK package (www.developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) and then install the "Android SDK tools" components.

Plug the phone into the computer.

Copy the "adb drivers" folder onto the computer. From the "CD" drive that pops up.

Unplug the phone.

Turn "development mode" on in the settings under "Applications".

Plug the phone back in, point Windows at the "adb drivers" folder if it doesn't find the driver for the ideos.

Run SuperOneClick, click "Root", wait until it's finished.

The "su" test didn't work but I rebooted the phone, downloaded an app that required root access and it popped up and asked for permissions and then worked.

Not sure what she'll use root access for, but it's there just in case.

noob alert: first post

Thanks for the post (couldn't find the 'thanks' button)

A couple of edit suggestions to help others like me:

after:

You could include:

v) Connect your IDEOS to the USB in debuging mode (Settings>Applications>Development)

and running:

dmesg

should show something like:

[ 3835.738270] usb 1-9: New USB device found, idVendor=12d1, idProduct=1038
[ 3835.738282] usb 1-9: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[ 3835.738290] usb 1-9: Product: Ideos
[ 3835.738295] usb 1-9: Manufacturer: Huawei Incorporated

In the section:

you could mention android-sdk and components ( I couldn't find the platform-tools after installing the sdk)

It seems the latest 'SuperOneClick' does not have rageagainstthecage you could fix it to version 1.7

I got into trouble because I rarely work as root in my system, so before:

./adb devices

you could include:

sudo ./adb start-server

and after:

you could include:

sudo ./adb kill-server
sudo ./adb start-server

I didn't setuid busybox and sqlite3 and it seems to work ok:

chmod 755 busybox

chmod 755 sqlite3

and because I am a bit paranoid leaving 'Trojans' on my phone before reboot I did:

rm /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage

Anyway, your guide is great and after a couple of searches I found the solution to my problems, just thought that the above edits would help noobs like me get it right first time.

Just a question:

as many ROMs don't have passwd installed, isn't rooted phones easily exploitable?

The stock stuff does not allow you to use an alternate keyboard. Sigh....

EVERYONE should call the Viewsonic support number and demand that they enable all 2.2 capability and not block things. If they aren't allowed to install Google apps, that is OK, but they should not srop things like alternate keyboards. All settings that are in a stock Android 2.2 should be there.

The blue text recovery is stock recovery, here you select "reinstall packages", and this flashes the update.zip that should be on your sd card, back when you were in rom manager and selected "flash clockwork recovery" rom manager puts this file on your phone, leave it there.

Try performing the Nandroid backup from CWM Recovery instead of ROM Manager.

1.) Boot into CWM Recovery either via ROM Manager, adb reboot recovery, or using the hardware buttons.

2.) If you are at the stock 2e recovery (blue text) select reinstall packages.
