[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brokenbad:
Hello,

I'm an auto technician that has a Snap-on Verdict auto diagnostic tool, which is an XP pro based mobile console with wifi and Bluetooth capabilities. My goal is to link this unit to the internet throught my un-rooted captivate 2.1. I searched YouTube and found a link that walked through the steps (kinda,bad English) for first linking via Bluetooth, which I've done, then set the setttings for internet connection (for att connection, which I have) on the XP unit. As I mentioned I have paired the phone with the Verdict. The Verdict recognizes the phone (classified as a phone/modem) as SGH-i897 with passkey enabled. That's as far as I have been able to make it. The YouTube video, which i'll link, then start to leave my translation/technical capabilities. Any help would be much appreciated. I'm a pretty good mechanic and will gladly exchange assistance with any auto related concern you may have.

-happy new year

-thanks again
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyrplhaze:
Looked up the specs on that thing, and it's also wifi capable....it might be easier for ya to root your phone, and install wifi tether. Then, your phone acts like a mobile hotspot. Connect your Verdict to the "network" created by your phone, then it will share the internet connection.

rooting is a quite simple process, and the tethering (I believe) is just an app you can download
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geokhentix:
Rooting is a simple process. But you aren't going to be able to tether a virgin(unrooted) Captivate wirelessly to anything. The tethering apps pyrplhaze spoke of require root access or a custom ROM because AT&T censors them from the market. You will either have to root, install a custom ROM, or install a tethering app from a third party source. Good luck!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brokenbad:
thanks for the replies,

I've tried to root my captivate a couple of times but I've had better luck tuning Renault than succesfully rooting this phone. It seems like the rooting challenge is a fast moving target for me, I've tried following "outdated" threads and such but as of yet I haven't pulled it off (dummy). I realize my stupidity regarding these protocols should make me ineligible for rooting/tethering assistance but I'm motivated to have the ability to better diagnose vehicles while mobile.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geokhentix:
I'll help ya out, step by step.

As for installing a Custom ROM that includes Tethering (such as Perception, or Cognition), after you're rooted, download ROM Manager from the Market. Open it up, and Flash ClockworkMOD, first option! After that, place the rom.zip of your choice on your /sdcard/, open ROM Manager, click Reboot to Recovery. It'll reboot, after that, all you need to do is select Install rom from zip, then choose zip from sd card.

Make sure you have the one-click back to stock just incase things go wrong!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popoffka:
Hi,

I'm using OxygeN 2 RC5 (Gingerbread) on my HTC Desire. I like the default Android UI, but I would like to see these functions in it's lockscreen:

when default player is running, I want to be able to control it from the lockscreen

when I've got an unread SMS or a missed call, I'd like to see a slider(just like the "unlock" or "mute" one) that will open the unread SMS or the missed call

Is this possible?

Thank you.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobsie41:
I am expecting delivery of an A70 8gb in a few days and, as with most android devices i am worried about the lack of space for applications.

I also have an HTC desire on which i used modInstallLocation using ADB to default push my apps to sd card.

Is it possible to use this method on the A70 to push apps to the 8gb storage by default using the same android sdk that i have installed for my Desire??

Also, if this is possible, do i gain more space using this method than i would using froyo apps2sd??

Any informed advice would be much appreciated as i suspect this android device's lack of apps storage space will frustrate me as i am now used to using data2sd on my desire! :confused:
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fzelle:
You need the ADB Driver for the Archos, but then it is the same.

And yes you will gain some space but not as much as you would expext.

On the std Archos the Dalvic Cache is on the same Partition as data.

But if you look in the dev subgroup you see that with the sde we will have an Android with 8GB memory
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobsie41:
Thanks for your answer.

Does this mmethod save anymore space than just implementing froyo a2sd?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fzelle:
froyo a2sd does only work for apps where the dev has implemented this.

And the 300MB Appspace that is seperated by archos is equaly filled with the Apps and the dalvic cache.

With the SDE and the method used by the guys in the develop subgroup, you have the whole SD ( internal or external ) for everything.

How do I flash a kernal on my Wildfire? I downloaded Jacob's overclockable one.

Thanks.
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
Same way you flash a rom...
[Wildfire General] argeoff:
Yeah, put it on sd card, boot to recovery and flash it. :cool:
[Wildfire General] Max19:
Thats what I did, it installed it or something in less then a second but nothing changed.
[Wildfire General] argeoff:
Kernel information didn't change ? The kernel name should change to a very long name with jacob inside.
[Wildfire General] Max19:
No it didn't change, now I have a CyanogenMod rom, with Jacob's kernal but no the one that you can overclock with.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Did you try oc'ing in SetCPU? The kernel is not overclocked by default because then, some users had problems booting with the pre overclocked kernel.

SetCPU is officially available on the XDA Forums. Just perform a search.
[Wildfire General] Max19:
I have SetCPU, can you write down how to flash a kernal step by step for me?

I would really appreciate it.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Really, its the same as flashing a Custom ROM. If you were able to flash one, you should be able to flash this as well. (Restart in Recovery Mode, Install Zip from SDC)

BTW, it should show this under Settings > About Phone > Software Information > Kernel Version - 2.6.32.21-HCRDJacob-ga91e73b-dirtyroot@HCDR #1

This will show the kernel is successfully flashed. What is the maximum you can see in SetCPU? Is it still 528?
[Wildfire General] Max19:
That's exactly what is says on the kernal, and yeah the maximum I see is 528.
[Wildfire General] argeoff:
Hmm.. did you hit autodetect speed under device selection ?
[Wildfire General] Max19:
Yes I did.
[General Questions and Answers] S3nd41:
Hello everyone,

I'd like to know what's the best way to do a full backup on my droid. I've read about using Nandroid to do it and so far this was the most complete step by step thread I've found about it: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/ha...step-step-no-adb-involved-noob-challenge.html but I've also seen other walkthroughs that seem much easier so I don't know if this is outdated or not, all the mirrors for the necessary files are broken so I don't know if I should follow it.

I've also read on another forum that you can just use ROM Manager and ClockworkMod recovery to make a backup but when I searched for the ROM Manager app on the market there were a lot of comments saying that the backup/restore functions didn't work properly so I'm not sure if that method is any good either.

Can anyone point me to a decent updated thread on how to use Nandroid or suggest any other methods?

Thank you very much!
[General Questions and Answers] toosurreal01:
do a nandroid backup, then copy the files over to your computer as an extra precaution. They are big files (mine was 512mb yesterday) so you might not want to keep it on your SD card.

Backup is easy to do, boot into HBOOT > Recovery and perform a backup!
[General Questions and Answers] S3nd41:
The only problem I see with the nandroid backups is that I have to flash the custom recovery rom in order to get it running, is there some way to restore it in case I need to claim my warranty for some reason?

[Nexus One General] boblebob:
Hi,

i'm new in the android world and i'm confused.

i just got an used nexus one.

the old owner unlock the bootloader but did'nt root it.

when i got it, i try to delete all the information from the old owner.

so i thought that rooting the N1 will erase all data and give me some advantage.

(one the iphone world jailbreak was fast and easy)

so i take this tutorial (sorry can't post link, google "[Complete guide with Images] Unlock Bootloader and Root Google Nexus One [Mac, Windows, Linux]" first link)

and follow it

i start just after "superboot" because the bootloader was already unlock

the problème is that my N1 don't boot anymore (after step 6)

i try to "clear storage"

but the problème is still there

i don't know much about android but i'm willing to learn

if you have any tutorial or any other help i'll apreciate

PS: i'm on mac

thanks
[Nexus One General] kam187:
You need to install the SDK - or the adb drivers at least. Might as well just install the SDK - you'll need adb and fastboot commands etc at some stage.

http://www.99bits.com/2010/12/how-to-setup-adb-on-mac/
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
My guess is you've flashed a version of superboot that's not compatible with the build that was installed.

Still, all is (almost) never lost with these. I would download the FRG83 system image from http://developer.HTC.com and extract the system & boot images from it. Flash these and you should be working again.

Instead of using superboot to root, flash a custom recovery & use that to root.
[Nexus One General] boblebob:
Thanks a lot for the fast reply.

I follow the advice of kam187 and download the SDK, the only problem with ADB is the last step of the tutorial, when i type "adb devices" in the terminal, i got a "command not found" (my n1 is connected and on, stock to the X screen)

i do all the step exactly as told in the tuto.

(exept step 8 and 9, my n1 is not booting, i know that usb debugging was one when i got it, but don't know for connection type)

i guess i'll have to use the SDK to flash a custom recovery

do you have any other tuto for that? (i'm new to the android world)

again, thanks a lot for the answer
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Turn on USB debugging in the application development settings.
[Nexus One General] boblebob:
is "application development settings" the same as "android SDK and AVD manager" ?

if so, i don't find any usb debugging setting.

if it's one my N1, it's not booting, so i can't turn it on

if it's anywhere else, where?

thx
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Oh ****, of course. It's on the N1. Stupid beer.

You'll want fastboot for flashing like I originally said.
[Nexus One General] cmstlist:
Can you get into the bootloader? Hold down the trackball and press power. If you get a white screen with Androids on skateboards, good.

I think your most direct way to a fresh install of stock Android is to use a PASSIMG.ZIP. This should work as long as your bootloader works. If you have an SLCD Nexus One, don't try to downgrade HBOOT or to flash an earlier build than FRF91.
[Nexus One General] boblebob:
yes i can boot into the bootloader,

a stock android will be good.

i just want it to work for now.

cmstlist you talk about PASSIMG.ZIP, where can i fond it and how can i use it?

like i say, i'm new to android and don't know much.

do you have any link's to a good noob tutorial that explain how to flash an nexus one?

PS: i don't know if i have an SLCD Nexus One, it come from videotron in montreal (quebec, canada)
[Nexus One General] cmstlist:
Okay so if it's a Videotron N1, it's 100% definitely SLCD.

Since you can't boot into the device, you'll need to access the microSD card using an external reader, or any other means you can find to write a file to the card. Download the following ROM:

http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...le_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_MFG_Shipment_ROM.zip

Copy the file to the root of your MicroSD card and rename it PASSIMG.zip (case-sensitive). Be careful that it's truly named PASSIMG.zip and not PASSIMG.zip.zip (if you're on Windows sometimes it hides file extensions). Put the card back in the phone and enter bootloader mode. If you're on the Fastboot screen, then press Power to select Bootloader. Now you'll be on the HBOOT screen. Wait about 10 seconds and the phone will check automatically for PASSIMG.zip. When it finds the file, it will automatically unpack and ask you if you want to install the ROM. Follow the instructions and give it some time. When it's done, you'll boot into a fresh stock FRG33 build.

From here you can set up the phone, and once you've connected to data or wifi you'll probably be prompted about OTA updates - eventually ending up on FRG83D. If you'd like to root in the future you have many options (especially since your bootloader is already unlocked), but I'm sure your priority is just to have a working phone =)
[Nexus One General] boblebob:
thanks a lot cmstlist for the explication

i'm downloading it right now
[Nexus One General] boblebob:
i just download "Passion_Google_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_MFG_Shipment_ROM.zip", renamed it to "PASSIMG.zip. put it on the micro SD card

put the SDcard card onto my N1

boot into fastboot, open the bootloader and come into hboot

after some time (few sec) i see a green text showing that the phone is looking for an image and don't finding it.

i try to download the file with diferent browser (chrome, safari, firefox) to be sure it's not a download problem

i don't know what whent wrong
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
The file is a .zip within a .zip, extract it, then rename the extracted .zip to passimg.zip and try again.
[Nexus One General] boblebob:
still don't work

when i extract it i got:

PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_release_signed.zip

i rename it to PASSING.zip

but the N1 dont find it on the SD card

are you sure it,s the right file for my N1?
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
It's the right file, you can't spell ;)

passimg.zip
[Nexus One General] boblebob:
i speel it wrong when i retype it, but it's speel PASSIMG.zip on the SD card

i try PASSDIAG.zip to because i saw this name on my N1 when it's looking for an image

it don't work

try it 5 ou 6 time, but nothing
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Ah that's odd, its definitely the right file as I've use it myself numerous times.

Do you get the blue bar again, or nothing?
[Nexus One General] boblebob:
when i boot into fastboot, i can select bootloader

then i'm into HBOOT (un blue)

y have option for : fastboot, recovery, clear storage and simlock

if i don't select anithing, after few sec, i see green text (5 ou 6 ligne) when i see that the N1 is looking for image

it don't see anything and come back to the Hboot screen (same as before)
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Well as another way, extract the system.img and boot.img files from the passimg and use fastboot to flash them, can't go too far wrong with that.
[Nexus One General] cmstlist:
I suggested this over fastboot because it doesn't require USB drivers, but no idea why it wouldn't work. I did forget the part about extracting the file.
[Nexus One General] boblebob:
i try from a PC with XP, maybe, MacOS does not put the file the right way on the SD

i try extraction the first zip with winzip and unrar, the both way it don't work

for information, the SD card i use is a 2Gb micro SD, formated un fat16

do you know any other way to restore my N1?
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
A common thing is accidentally calling the file passimg.zip.zip

Could be that, try just renaming it passimg as the OS could be hiding the .zip
[Nexus One General] boblebob:
it finaly work

i think that the problem was the format of the microSD card

the 2 first card i try was 1Gb and 2Gb formated in fat16

the last card i try was a 4Gb card formated in fat32

it just boot fine, it's the stock android, but it work
