[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ozzmanj1:
I am aware of the online petitions and countless emails many a Milestone user have sent to Motorola regarding the unlocking of the bootloader. I am pasting a email i was about to send, hoping I could geet some possible input from the great android community. Thank you. All feedback/suggestions are appreciated.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,

On behalf of myself and the multitudes of other Motorola Milestone owners, we would like to request the unlocking of the bootloader. As this phone is getting older and will eventually be considered end of life and discontinued, odds of continued support by Motorola would be unlikely. With the bootloader locked, it means that all of us owners of this wonderful device would not be able to continue its growth through the wonderful support of Android enthusiasts. I am aware as are others that having the bootloader unlocked would mean no support from Motorola for any damage or harm that may or may not happen. That I am more then willing to accept. All we ask is to have the freedom that owners of the U.S. variant, the Motorola Droid, have been able to experience, as their handsets have unlocked bootloaders. I kindly implore you to please give the fans what we want. To continue to support our devices in any way that we see fit, completely by ourselves leaving whatever happens to our responsibility. Please pass this to someone who would be able direct this email to those that would best be able make our hope come true, which would be the unlocking of the bootloader. I want to thank you for your time as I realize this is a long email. I simply wish that this email is sent to the appropriate individuals, rather then deleted and or ignored. Thank you.

I have tried rooting my phone several times using multiple methods described on this site, and nothing works!!!! I have a Captivate and have gotten to the "one click root" window and gone through it all and my phone has rebooted and I selected install selected packages (update.zip file). After my phone reboots, i select that and it says it can't find the file.

Please help

So I really like the Nexus S's screen off effect with the CRT shutdown thing. Is there anyway of getting that on the Nook Color?

I'm trying to root my new myTouch 4G but I can't get a temp root?
[myTouch 4G General] Mftek1:
Go to google. Type visionary r14

Its the first one that comes up
[myTouch 4G General] betin50:
i have that version but once i hit temproot now all it does is make screen flash and eventually it just goes back to the main menu
[myTouch 4G General] Mftek1:
Are you trying to temp root or perm root?
[myTouch 4G General] betin50:
I'm actually trying to perm root but the guide I'm reading says I have to temp root first, and this app won't work
[myTouch 4G General] nvmehaterz:
you can find out if your temp rooted by bringing up your terminal emulator and typing the letters "su" and if u get access denied then ur not temp rooted and if you get a "#" symbol then u are temp rooted and go ahead and proceed to perm root phone.
[myTouch 4G General] shlongwoodian:
That is exactly what is supposed to happen. I am paraphrasing here, but this is the process:

1. Temproot via VISIONary

2. type 'su' via Terminal

3. Run the root.sh script (which you already downloaded to your microSD card)

4. Reboot

5. Permaroot via VISIONary

I understand that for some, it gets a bit "blurry" over on the Guide to permaroot thread...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834225

...but grankin01 did a really great job at outlining the steps. Again, borrowing from his thread...

I have done this on 6 MT4G's thus far and it couldn't be any easier. Other than the reboot itself, this literally takes like 30-60 seconds. I have used VISIONary R14 each and every time and I have never, not once, run into an issue.

Just make sure and read, re-read and then re-re-read again. The 'reboot' is in those steps, but again, I understand how some might miss it.

Let us know how you make out!
[myTouch 4G General] Fisherman619:
As stated above, r14 works just like that! (Did for me.) I think your problem may be that you are still on 2.2 and i believe r14 pre req is that you be on 2.2.1
[myTouch 4G General] shlongwoodian:
Good call Fishy. I think it comes down to this, OP. It looks like you've missed a few steps thus far, at least one - i.e. you didn't reboot and then attempt permaroot. Make sure you're on 2.2.1 as Fishy stated and make sure you haven't missed a step. It sounds like the one thing every person on this forum will scream until they're blue in the face - i.e. read, read and read some more...then read it again - was missed.

i have a mytouch 4g and it was previously rooted... Would that mean it would be easy to root again
[myTouch 4G General] saranhai:
what method did you use to root before?
[myTouch 4G General] invasion2:
To the OP: are you on 2.3.4 or 2.2.1? I'm surprised no one has asked this!
[myTouch 4G General] Jack_R1:
I believe that the OP has rooted his phone since January 2011. That would also probably be the reason why nobody asked him - it wasn't available back then ;)

The only reason this post is up, is the question 2 posts above me. But why would anyone want to bring an old thread back with absolutely unrelated question - escapes me.

I think my mic is busted as ppl cant hear me talk on the other end. This started after I flashed one of the early gb roms but doubt that broke the mic. So I already checked all my settings, flashed a bunch of different roms from scratch and the microphone still wont work. Is there anything else that could be contribution to my defect here?

If not, no biggie as I have my s-on zip and 3.29 ruu ready (hardware 002) to unroot and take it in to sprint. Just hope they can swap it with a new working mic, not like I actually make any phone calls as I didnt even realize the mic was borked for who knows how long.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evantribley:
Same problem for me today. I work for Sprint they will have to replace the device for a bad mic according to the tech I spoke with today because it is attached the the main board. I had hardware 002 as well and my device was an advocate seed device I got the beginning of May.

Sad to see it go, have to start all over with everything again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bizdady:
Oh damn! Was trying to avoid getting a new hardware revision and theyre still a bit problematic lol Hmmm maybe I can trade the new version with the wifeys 002 version and get the lines switched lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evantribley:
Yeah same here, I really didn't want to have to let go of my hardware. Sometimes you get lucky with replacements and will get an older hardware revision since they can be remanufactured. I didn't get lucky, new hardware and all the updates already on there.

Oh well! Swap the wife's phone when she's not looking :)
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
it just happened to me. I got a fb status update, texted the guy about it, and it commented on his status instead. It only does it for me exactly during this situation and not random people from my contacts. So if I get a fb SMS update from "Jeff," then text him on his phone, it sends the message to the Facebook update instead. And no my contacts are not linked with Facebook either. Does this problem affect you? If so try to explain it. This needs to be resolved.

I posted this in Q&A but got no responses. I'm hoping someone here may have some advice.

Im running CM 6.1.1-Stable with pershoots kernel (rooted via gfree method) and I am trying to use the Droid X boot animation on my phone. However, I keep getting the default android bootanimation with silver text with the word "android" and some intermittent shining of the text.

I downloaded the bootanimation from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=710204

I copied both the audio and the bootanimation.zip files to /system/media according to these instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9118652&postcount=12

It erases the cyanogenmod boot animation, but instead i get the default silver android text bootanimation. I tried deleting the system/media/bootanimation.zip file and placing the new bootanimation.zip and audio in /data/local but this resulted in the same default bootanimation.

Am I missing something here? Most people seem to be able to easily change their bootanimation by pushing the file to /data/local, but for me, the cyanogenmod bootanimation in /system/media seems to take priority. Either way, pushing the bootanimation to either /system/media or /data/local is not working. Any ideas?

Also, do I need to do anything special to get the droid sound to work besides pushing it along with the bootanimation.zip file?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] blackknightavalon:
Download a boot animation from this section. I know someone ported the Droid image to the G2.

Sent from a Western Union telegram.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] shadyx513:
Yes try one from this section the one you downloaded isn't sized for our screen so probably won't play, so the phone plays the old default. If you want this one pm me and let me know
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] MATOPETE:
When you place your bootanimation.zip do you use adb or terminal emulation?

Is so much easier with a terminal emulator

Place your bootanimation.zip in the root of your sdcard

Open terminal emulator

-su

-cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/

This will not give you any feedback if it was done correctly but it will if you get an error

-reboot

about the custom rom... maybe we might get something but the phone is available only in 2 countries that I know for now... though the released was supposed to be global

Hi guys,

I just got a Motorola SPICE XT300, but it's the version from China and it does not have Android Market on it.

This might be a really dumb newbie question (sorry!), but how do I install an English-US (or Canada) version of Android WITH Android Market onto it?

So far, I've followed the instructions on z4root and have successfully rooted the phone. I'm just not sure what to do next. :confused::(:confused:

I rooted mine yesterday using superoneclick 1.7 (not 1.9.5) and selected the rageagainstthecage exploit (not psneuter). I installed some motorola usb drivers first and also had to unquarantine something from the AV software on the machine. When SOC sat at "waiting for device" I toggled the phone's USB debugging option off then on again.

Even better if someone has a Canadian SBF file.

People forgot spice? :( has somebody successfully used the CWM on the Spice?Or compiled the GPu drivers
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] smnc:
We cannot flash a custom recovery like CWM as long as we have a locked bootloader, unless someone finds an exploit.

As for the GPU, as far as I can tell the GPU is crippled on the MSM7225 phones. That appears to be the main advantage that the 7227 series has over us.

I will continue my research, but I don't think drivers will help.

I'm looking into it.

[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Personally, I'm a fan of Nebula (link in my sig). The dev is a software professional who requires a stable platform for his work and as such its quite a stable ROM. I love it and if she wants something slick looking (not to say its not already slick looking) you can add the gingerbread theme (also in my sig). In my opinion, its the best combination out there for speed and stability. Good luck in your choice whatever it may be!
