Really nice for downgrading from 1.72.405!

But as far as I know,for now it`s possible to root the

1.72.405... firmware,but it`s not possible to get

S-Off too?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] g4rb4g3:
no, since the radio doesn't have the security hole used by gfree anymore.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MacaronyMax:
Thanks Garbage :D And scotty2 :)

Edit there's an error.. You wrote misc-vesrion instead of misc_version (step 5)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
Ok,root with 1.72.... is possible,but not S-Off!

So we can`t flash custom ROMs if we have

1.72... firmware on phone,right?

First we have to downgrade for all features!

Hey, gratz for the new exploit, any chance that this would work on DHD ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crimsdings:
thx for the step per step guide, will give it a try as soon as i´m home ! glad to see people from austria here tho ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tbalden:
garbage, your guide works perfectly. Downgraded... now up to gfree it!! Thanks Scotty2 again, saves the month again! :D

ps: gfree worked perfectly, installed rom manager and clockworkmod recovery...ready to check out some unofficial roms, learnt from previous mistake with ota ;P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] samm1e:
Worked on my DHD too with some corrections. Downgraded to 1.32 =>rooted, S-OFF, CWR:) Thanks to scotty2!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CTCNetwork:
Hi,

This might sound like a silly question but given the improved battery life from the new OTA upgrade, has anyone either identified what changes were made that improved battery life, or is there a process available that can root the phone but still stick with the majority of the update (and the battery life improvement) and still have root?

I'm a simple person and would like that better life and be able to use SetCPU to beef up performance.. :)

Des. . . ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] poochie2:
Wonderful!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] YOSEFE:
I am a little bit confused. Can you tell me:

1. When I need to connect/sync my dz to the pc

2. Where do I enter the code, is it on the pc or dz? If on the pc, where do I enter the code?

Thanks for your help mate.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tbalden:
Connect at starting the whole process, dont mount it or anything, just use adb as detailed in the instructions.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] YOSEFE:
Thanks,

but can you just remind me how I can get to adb on my pc. I know I used it when I rooted before I got excited with ota update.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] YOSEFE:
I have adb under AndroidSDK/Tools.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] maus010:
I need some help over here :-)

I'm a noob to the whole ADB thing.

When I type ADB DEVICES it gives me one listed device. So thats ok right??

Then I type ADB SHELL and at the next line I get the $ symbol.

But when I type ADB PUSH PSNEUTER etc. it gives me: permission denied.

So what am I doing wrong?

And where do I have to extract the psneuter file? Do I have to put it in the SDK/tools folder??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] guhl99:
adb runs on your pc. See the adb for noobs thread on how to set up and use adb http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865685
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monkey22:
Thanks a lot g4rb4g3!

All worked fine with me up until this point - I can't find this file anywhere in the temp folder! Could there be something I did wrong that would cause this file not to be generated?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] YOSEFE:
A further question is where one copies the "PSNEUTER.TXT" downloaded? I put the file in /tools, but adb returns an error.

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] g4rb4g3:
Did you enable the setting to show hidden files and folders on your computer?

I'll upload a PC10IMG.zip when I'm home again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monkey22:
Yep, the setting is enabled... Thanks a lot!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ninj:
When I do that, i get the following:

Error opening backup file.

Is it bad? Can I go on with downgrading? Anything to try?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] g4rb4g3:
Seems like your SD-Card is not available since the backup would be written to /sdcard/.

Did you mount it to your computer? If so unmount it and try again.

Ok thanks :)

Now I have got:

But in the phone's settings it still shows 1.72. Is it normal?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ddup1:
Yeah its normal you are in 1.72.

misc_version is only a way to joke the bootloader and be able to downgrade to 1.34.

misc_version dont do upgrade it lure the bootloader.

Before usging misc_version if you try an update with 1.34 it says that upgrade is older than the one installed, with misc_version you can do this update (which is a downgrade lol).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] paw3lk:
Once you run the EXE file the ZIP file will be extracted to the temp folder, just keep the Update Utility running when you search for it. It will probably help if you clear up your temp folder beforehand.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] paw3lk:
Just a word of warning to anybody attempting this - unlike UTA update this will wipe your phone. Most probably it's unavoidable anyway but I guess it's better to know about it beforehand rather than be taken by surprise.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] snoopdobb:
Good point. I didn't know that it would wipe my phone, but I would have done it anyway. ;)

Just another post confirming the new psneuter exploit works for me, enabled the downgrade to 1.34, and from there the exiting rage/gfree perma-root works like a charm! Thanks again to all involved!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ninj:
What a cheating program, this misc_version ;)

Thank you for explanations. I'll try the downgrade this night. If I'm not back tomorrow, please call the police, I may be trapped in a parallel Android dimension.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ninj:
Is the SD card hurt too? Or shouldn't I worry about its content?

EDIT: Done, the SD card isn't wiped. Everything's fine now :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] YOSEFE:
DONE!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HyperNode:
Okay WTF why can't I set the full wallpaper in Android? I mean MT4G is using WVGA 480x800 right? So WTF if I have same res wallpaper I can't set the full image without chopping it? Looks like I am already starting to miss the superior control of WinMo.

Also WTF is the background image moving? Is there any way to just make the wallpaper fixed in still form? So its on all 5 panels? What kinda crap is this.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setzer715:
Um, this is a joke right?

When it brings up the picture and you have the little box in the middle of the picture, touch/grab a side and drag it out. It allows you to crop the picture and use the part you want.

As for scrolling wallpaper, yeah, always been that way since the first android device, so NO, you cannot make it the same on every page.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjlean:
Your post is really negative. Probably won't get a lot of answers like this.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HyperNode:
Well I am very neat freak and I don't want it to chop the photo I mean WTF chop it when its same res? it might miss few pixels :P also why can't you apply that and make still background? I hate it when wallpaper goes scrolling looks corny.

What gave it away einstein? my phone history?

Ya this is my 1st Android as I try to clearly stay away from iOS and wannabe google based BS they pretend to call Android. If this was WM lol it would take me 3sec to rape it and do as I want it. Ironic here Android is open source and WM is proprietary yet we have more control over it :O
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenWulf:
if you want to "screenlock" your background Launcher Pro has that as an option, it is free in the market however you will lose most of your stock widgets (as they are proprietary to HTC Sense UI) unless you get the donate version, the developer has created his own verions of the most popular Sense widgets.

side note : if you are so anti-Android then why didn't you get the HD7 (since it runs your beloved WinMo) instead of the Glacier?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esincho:
hypernode, U just lack the knowledge. If U looking to learn U might wanna ask without all the "If this was WM boy I would" stuff just because U have more knowledge about WM. Android is just as customizable as WM, just does everything better. I own a touch pro, and touch pro 2.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HyperNode:
So wait you are telling me that no one complained about this BS before other than me? find it hard to believe as its same concept as desktop environment console which came from ironically from UNIX world 30+ years ago and before Win platform made it mainstream yet on so called Android PPC variant we don't have this? WTF how old is Android again? They don't even have this basic setting? I mean some folks might want to use wallpaper with lower/higher res for example in display tile, center, stretch and use it as is without chopping it.

BTW I am not anti-android I just hate Google :P gl with your info being passed around googleware. Its a privacy thing but they sure did a mockup job of Linux based PPC here. Also WTF would I want WM7? Have you seen that POS? lol whats with the tiles? Sorry I am not 5years old M$ failed again.

Would you want something like this?

This is WM7 on HD7 would you take what I had or this?

The only reason I picked MT4G was due to its superior hardware spec's thus promising much more capabilities. This was the only alternative other than HTC DHD which I can't use in USA due to no 3G so I picked this one. But I am not paying $450 for HD7 when its same BS as HD2 which we had since 2009.

I just find it odd that Android lacks so much which I find unbelievable for an open platform and I don't plan on becoming an Android developer just to apply wallpaper lol I mean this should have already been documented. Trust me I know I come from the real *nix world. Then again I had it for like a day maybe I should give it more time.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HyperNode:
lol knowledge to setup wallpapers? are you serious? they should have just "had" it. So you are saying no one ever noticed this before? I mean we are not talking about setting up UDE here on a server remotely then allocating XDesktop daemon. Then manually editing the display init via console with editor. Ohh man I can see now ill end up being a Android dev due to so much BS lacking. Hell if I can code AI's lol and my own filesharing client on my own network. I am sure this mock of OS won't be difficult as nothing to reverse engineer. Maybe I should give it few sometime so I am use to it.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberStorm98:
Scrolling wallpaper has been out since the G1 over 2 years ago. If you are as smart as you claim to be, do 5 minutes of research before buying a phone. There are thousands of videos online showing the Android home screen. You could have watched a few, decided you didn't like the wallpaper scrolling and asked someone BEFORE you bought it, if it was possible to not have that. Besides that, walk into a T-Mobile store and use the phone for 10 minutes, see if you can do what you want.

You are acting so negative that Google didn't add the features YOU want, but you didn't take any time to research a product before you bought it? It sounds like you jumped in head first without looking anything up and now you are mad at everyone but yourself. If you are so desperate to have a static wallpaper, download LauncherPro, turn on the setting to not scroll wallpaper and stop complaining.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setzer715:
I saw your HD2 wallpaper on another post and personally I don't like it. It looks chaotic, unrefined and just an overall mess. That is just my opinion, but lets get onto the real issue here, hostility. Why are you coming at everyone with such hostility, calling everyone a kid and stupid?

The second question is, if you love WM so much, why do you try to make your phone look like an android phone? I tried the HD2 (well, it was a friends) and I found it to be a disaster, nothing was in a logical place or order, but again, that is just my opinion. A lot of people love WM, just like a lot of people love Android for their own reasons.

As for the wallpaper, I guess Google made what they liked (and MOST user like) and left it at that. Wallpaper is such a small aspect of the phone that I never really cared to do it any other way.

Maybe you should sell your MT4G, buy a used HD2 and wait and see what WM brings this year because you really seem to hate your phone.

Not 800x480. Try that hater and see if it helps.

Borodin was right...what a tool.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HyperNode:
You are all on crack, so get of it.

@setzer715:

LOL @ you for saying "It looks chaotic, unrefined and just an overall mess"

You are obviously crazy now look at the SS from what you can conclude from single panel you have all the information in it. But on Andriod you force everyone on 5-7 panels but can't even display that info in one? lol don't be silly if you have any clue in graphic design you could see how beautiful and elegant it is aligned with focal point and matching color theme. If you think it looks like mess well you should admit yourself in the hospital or something.

Why I love WM? Cuz I am starting to see why Andriod is POS now only way to get it working is download stupid apps. "You got app for that?" WM6.5.X is more mature and it evolved. If you don't like it then do WTF you want and make it as you want.

@CyberStorm98

Do search on the thread and post I created and tell me if I didn't do research lol from that you can see what? Are you guys serious? This is STANDARD future I guess most of you use Windows in home? If you used real Unix/Linux you would know what I am takling about here but then again its ironic? On mobile platform WinMo is superior where in PC *nix is superior. You are for getting Android is BS due to googles control. BTW I checked out Launcher Pro its POS and costs like 2.99 for Plus which is BS due to actually lacking this standard future. Most of you just like it cuz they just IMPOSED that BS on you.

@borodin1

What are you mentally handicapped? You can't afford case or anything? Thats like buying a car and you modifying without stating whats under the hood. Ya if you can see my sig you should have seen the 1st/2nd line on it or did you miss that? Only thing I see is ATM its POS Android that's holding the device back as the hardware is superior.

@CBConsultation:

LOL he is right the wallpaper resolution is 960x800 when the display itself is 800x480. Which does not even make sense is that another BS google created? Do I need an app to fix that BS also?

Android is POS so far to me and most BS is lacking but you can fix that just go to silly app market and install some adware app with google ads on it they claim is freeware. I mean WTF it seems most are run away Apple iPanzy users.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HyperNode:
Now I know I can easily modify this BS myself but ATM I am having 2nd guess if I want to keep this device as I still have 12days to return it so IDK if I want to root it yet and rape Android for whats it worth and fix it myself. Lets see how things goes if I do decide to keep it might flash to diff rom and start cooking my own. Been using POS: Android for 2days and I am not impressed. Some of the BS don't even make sense its utter ****up to 9th power.

I mean IDK why so many fanboys cried about Android being superior maybe they just some mindless drones who ran of from iPhone or some **** IDK. Its seems like just to do basic BS I "HAVE" to download some bull**** apps. Ooh man and don't get me started as the app claims its freeware but its adware. No wonder Android users don't like WM as most of the thing is already there and when they make an app its actually does something lol its not replacing anything as its complementary.

1st step is rooting this device and 2nd is to install Android SDK. What an utter failure. Just to have some decent standard I have to cook my own rom WTF.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CBConsultation:
Great. Make your own ROM and quit whining already. You can't type a proper sentence to save your life so stop the babbling.

Hello all. I have been searching and searching for the app called Reader's Hub. I have a US Version Sprint Tab that I just got yesterday. I found, what I believe to be two files, the Reading Hub.apk and Zinio_pressdisplay.rar. I haven't downloaded them yet because I don't know if they are the current version, and I don't know what to do with the files once I have downloaded them (where to put them, etc). Can someone please help me? I really want this App. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] RADroid:
There are a number of apk installers in tje market. Point it at the apk and click the option in settings to download from unknown sources.

There are also file mgrs in the market to unzip the rar file.

Cant help with versions but the apk installer may tell you that.
[Galaxy Tab General] nolegirl:
Everything is done on the tab?

Thanks so much for responding. Can you tell me exactly how to do it? I installed an APK installer and the Andro Zip app. When I opened the APK installer it mentioned something about the SD card, which came with the tab. Do I do everything on the tablet itself?
[Galaxy Tab General] nolegirl:
You have at least given me a head start. But Here's what I have done so far;

1. I have downloaded the readers hub file and have extracted it. I tried to download the zinio file, but for some reason it wouldn't fully download saying the file is not supported or something of the sort. It was in .rar.

2. I installed Root explorer, apk installer, and Andro Zip.

3. I tried copying the extracted file to the system/apps folder, but it wont let me. Either the entire folder, or the apk files one by one.

Am I missing anything, or did I skip a step?
[Galaxy Tab General] RADroid:

Thanks so much! Do you know how to change my device to write, instead of read only? I am trying to copy files but it keeps rejecting saying my device is read only.
[Galaxy Tab General] nolegirl:

Does this work for the US Galaxy Tab?
[Galaxy Tab General] Adapt0r:
For writing something into /system/app directory you need to have your Tab rooted. This will allow you to mount this directory as R(ead)/W(rite). Initially it should opened in Read/Only. Then you will be able to transfer your system app into the installation directory. After you finish copying you will see Readers Hub into the App Drawer.

You might need to have Zinio and Kobo because the Readers Hub is just a Manager of content.

Good luck

P.S. For rooting I would recommend z4root that can be installed from the creator's web page.
[Galaxy Tab General] nolegirl:
Okay, now I understand. That's my problem, while I have the Kobo and the press reader, I couldn't download the zinio app because my tab kept saying content not supported. I have andro zip, explorer, and apk installer installed, so I don't know why it wouldn't install it on my tab. Can you tell me how to root it, or give me a link to a thread that shows how to root it? I saw a thread recently, but it was for the Euro version and I have the US Sprint version.
[Galaxy Tab General] Adapt0r:
Go to XDA top left and follow this directories:

* Home

* Android Development and Hacking

* Android Apps and Games

* [APP] z4root

you will find z4root.1.3.0.apk in the first post.

Keep in mind that ReadersHub was not released in US and might not have full functionality in the US.
[Galaxy Tab General] nolegirl:
It looks like Z4root has been removed. Is there another simple way to root?
[Galaxy Tab General] Adapt0r:
No, it is still in the same place. I just downloaded it.

Another way is manual but it requires certain skills.

Franckly, if your only goal is to get ReadersHub rooting is hardly justified.

I would find substitution. Besides Kobo is not the best ereader. Of course, it depends on your goals and where do you get content.

I've found very sofisticated ebook reader called Moon+ Reader Pro. This one can even scroll for you. In addition it can do read aloud using either default TTS voice or purchased ones. It is very usable.
[Galaxy Tab General] nolegirl:
Okay. I wanted it to be able to read magazines as well, since for some reason, Nook isn't offering the magazines in their reader. Can you recommend a good app for magazines?
[Galaxy Tab General] Adapt0r:
Magazine subscriptions are available on Kindle although limited selecetion. Another app called Issuu offers access to magazines but I have not tried it. Some magazines/publishers may offer applications giving access to their materials.

I have such for NY Times and Financial Times, for example.

Google is supposed to introduce soon its Newsstand that will cover printed press.

Zinio so far is only for Apple products and I believe on the Tab in Europe. They promised to release it in the US shortly.
[Galaxy Tab General] nolegirl:
I went ahead and rooted my tab after reading some more of the features. I still cannot copy files to my system/app directory. I see the SD card is r/w but I can't seem to figure out how to change the system/app to write.
[Galaxy Tab General] Adapt0r:
Just touch R/W on the top line and the state will change to R/O
