I tried to install drivers with with Ubuntu (If I try to enter in recovery without doing anything the terminal says "< waiting for device >" forever, so I figured out that it needs some drivers), but with this guide, when I type

sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart

the terminal responds

Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service udev restart

Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the restart(8) utility, e.g. restart udev
udev start/running, process 9289

after that, when I try to run

sudo ./adb kill-server
sudo ./adb devices

it says

sudo: ./adb: command not found

.....

any advice?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
Ok I'm sorry - I was wrong about the drivers in Ubuntu :( - I thought it was much easier than that. You should probably switch to Windows and install PDANet to fix any driver issues there. Then just follow the guide here on Q2 to install the recovery image
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tamanegi:
-------------

thanks hachoo, tilal6991,

now everything seems to be fine !!!!!!!! :-)

but one note, if I did flashing rom with USB charger, it did not work... got message "line 8" aborted during the flashing.

Talking about Ginger bread. there was the problem but fixed and working fine on my Ideos.

Thank you quail, it's great ROM (though I only play around for 1 hr now, though ... )

Ok, now all I have to do is to study very basic things like "rooting" or so on this weekend , i'm very new to Android phone but i think ideos is great phone ! (especially when you think about price!)

hope camera function will be better like happened by ROM update for Atom Life, WM6.5 .
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] baronebarra:
I've already tried with Windows Vista, I've downloaded SDK and with it USB drivers, tried to install them manually but it came up with an error...

Tomorrow I'll definitely try this PDANet and search for some guides, thank you! ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] greenleaves:
Try this to modify the USB driver. Add the following ID in 'android_winusb.inf' under [Google.NTx86]

;Huawei IDEOS

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_12D1&PID_1038

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_12D1&PID_1038&MI_01

The inf file can be found in:

C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Introism:
@baronebarra

In Ubuntu you don't need any driver, just install sdk then go to the directory where sdk is and go to sub directory platform-tools and type "./adb devices"

Has anyone got the original rom backup from before they ever touched the phone?

Like when you first got it virgin backup?

The ones on the wiki are from Italy, Hong Kong, and the USA.

Can someone upload the ones from the Australian version?

Or are they the same?

Cheers
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fvckyougooglescammer:
I know what it is why it doesn't work for some of us noobs, im going to make a complete noobs guide to rooting installing custom recovery and installing other ROM's.

As there doesn't seem to be one on the whole net its up to me the uber noob to make it for other noobs.

The Google USB drivers are ok for adb stuff, but they wont work when the phone is offline in bootloader mode, you have to actually install to XP the PDAnet drivers not just the program installing them.

Like when you connect the phone it pops up the XP found new hardware and you have to install them then.

But these wont be used with the adb functions when the phone is on then it will use Google USB drivers.

And also some of us got the screen saying waiting for update update failed with keys blinking.

After going into bootloader mode about 5 times, and actually removing the SD card from the phone, I got the correct IDEOS logo screen in bootloader mode.

That's when it worked, it wont work with the waiting for update thing.

I think that is something that gets setup when the phone first runs for an official software update from SD card, like for the phone shops to do it.

The AmonRA batch file is using adb commands but it needs to use the PDAnet driver because of course, Google once again stopping people from doing things they dont want them to.

Like installing a custom recovery when the device is offline.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fvckyougooglescammer:
No but root is very easy, its just quail explains it in unix terms.

Some of his ./ is not needed for windows.

And you have to try a few times some times, to get it to actually root it seems with these devices anything you are trying to do.

You have to try 4-5 times first before you can say you actually tried.

You will know when it works because you get a # instead of a $ in adb shell.

Its then that its worked.

You don't need any programs, just the files, rageagainstthecage, su, sqlite3, SuperUser.apk, busybox.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] baronebarra:
I've downloaded and extract it but I don't have this folder... I only have add-ons, platforms, tools and the readme. Reading this one I found out "To start the SDK Manager, please execute the program "tools/android".", I tried to do it but it came up with

"tools/android: 83: java: not found

tools/android: 100: java: not found

Starting Android SDK and AVD Manager

exec: 113: java: not found"

so now I'm downloading Java....

edit: downloaded Java, the SDK Manager starts just like Windows, I am downloading Android-SDK Platform-tools revision 1, hope it's correct....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
You seem to be having quite a bit of trouble getting it working in Ubuntu. If installing Java doesn't work switch to Windows and follow Q3 here
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] baronebarra:
the situation now: adb seems to be working, but with my phone connected if I type

"adb/platform-tools# ./adb devices"

"the terminal responds

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

List of devices attached

"

a blank line..... and if I try to flash the recovery using the "install-recovery-linux.sh" in the Ultrajack recovery, it says waiting for device like always....

I'll try for windows asap, but I think we're near to the solution also in Ubuntu....

(in Windows I have drivers issues and I think the link you posted will not solve them, it's just about how to install the recovery...)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
The link I posted is for flashing recovery. I remember you saying that in windows the prompt hangs on "Waiting for device" Then the Q3 in the link I posted should fix it - it did so for me.

Tell me how it goes so I can modify the guide if it doesn't work
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] baronebarra:
ah sorry, I didn't see your update!

this afternoon I'll try your method and then I'll certainly give you a feedback

thanks!

edit: IT WORKS!!!!

just one difference with your guide: when I install PDANet and plug in the phone, it installed the right drivers.... so these passages

"4. Go to device manager and right click on "Android 1.0" and click "Update drivers"

5. Click "No, not this time" and Next

6. When it asks you where to look for drivers point it to PDANet's install location

7. Hopefully it should find the driver and prompt you to install it - it will take some time"

was not necessary, in fact I did them and the system responds "you have already the proper drivers" or something like that...

now I'm flashing Quail's ROM, I am so thankful!

Thanks thanks thanks! ;)

edit2: just one more thing... I flashed the ROM and all works fine (the gingerbread keyboard crashes but it's ok) but I didn't have all my apps installed as you told... so I came back in recovery mode and went in the "Backup/restore" menu, and started a Nandroid restore... after it I rebooted and my apps are back, my wallpapers, my configurations, all of it (no gingerbread keyboard issue).... but the starting animation was the old one and the system I think is a bit slow like always, so I figured out I might have re-installed the old ROM..... Is it correct? And in this case, how can I restore all my apps and configurations after flashing the new ROM? (I've also copied the entire SD on my pc before the flashing, but I don't think just replacing all the folders will work....) Thanks a lot
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Introism:
Before you flash a rom do a backup with titanium backup, you also do it with astro file manager but i prefer titanium backup.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] baronebarra:
I'm doing the backup right now... just one more question....

when I have wiped al the datas and flash the new ROM, I qill not have all my programs back... I'll have of course to reinstall Titanium Backup for restoring my datas, but how can I use the .apk of the sd card without root explorer? Or how can I download it from the market if the keyboard isn't working and keep crashing?

Maybe there's something missing in my reasoning
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Introism:
Try install another keyboard, swype for example, with Adb. You can also install a file manager with Adb. Have you a working Adb?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] baronebarra:
sure thing.

ok, I'll follow this ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
As was said above you should try and install a keyboard using adb. Here is a link to Sywpe: Download if you are interested
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] baronebarra:
Ok, thank you all.

So now I copy the "TitaniumBackup" folder on my computer, then I wipe and flash, after that I re-copy this folder on the sd and then install Titanium, Root Explorer, Keyboards from adb.

All correct?

edit: after a bit of trouble with adb I finally did it.... now I'm restoring my apps with Titanium... The ROM appears really fast, actually!

edit2 for quail: Goggles keep crashing (it starts, after like 3 seconds came up the same error as for gingerbread keyboard), Gtalk also is crashing but giving a different error. not too much trouble, btw ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xbluest:
anyone successfully fixed the gingerbread keyboard crashing??

i wasnt able to reinstall in astro...

tried removing with abd but my system folder in read only, and i cant figure out how to change...

tried installing the swype keyboard but the ginger bread wont go away,

just trying to install the older rom but it keeps failing at line 6,

anyone want a laptop and u8150, come stand outside my window, they will be exiting shortly...

edit- so i got the 9-1-11 rom running, then installed the ginger bread keyboard, works fine...

now i cant uninstall touchpal, because the folder is read only as well...

edit2- okay, installed gingerbread keyboard onto 9-1-11 rom, then backed up with titanium,

then installed the 15-1-11 rom then restored the gingerbread keyboard, perfect!!

convoluted way of doing it but it works:)

Hi All,

I do not currently own a U8150 any more as I have upgraded to a HTC Desire.

Quick question. Read thru 7 pages of drool and cbf'd so now I'm asking.

If I flash the custom recovery, will the phone's current ROM\OS be lost?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ntnlzr:
no you can save it to sd card with recovery menu and you can bring it back from the same menu :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fvckyougooglescammer:
No the phones software wont change, only the recovery screen.

But this is a good question, because once you flash the new recovery menu, the old one is gone.

How can you back up the actual original recovery screen?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fvckyougooglescammer:
Im still using it, its ok, I used titanium backup to freeze the gingerbread error.

Then installed Swipe, until someone wants to sort out the Gingerbread problem.

And also to flash the custom recovery menu, while the phone is off, on XP, I had to use PDAnet drivers.

And that program PDAnet almost stuffed up my pc, its trying to replace Windows system drivers with its own.

And gives blue screen on boot due to this.

Since removing it no problems.
