Were is the wimax.img in file system located ?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] -shift-:
+1 on this app. super useful! would buy again. A++++
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] 4 Door Skyline:
I'd hate to ask a stupid noob question, but im kinda lost here....

First, the app works great, and spits me back that im missing my rsa keys.

I have an old nandroid backup of my wimax img file where my wimax was working. How exactly would I be able to extract my RSA keys out of it? and how would I reenter/restore them??

Thanks
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] apristel:
Awesome! Thanks Joey!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] barry.bishop72:
sorry wasn't clear, in the nandroid folder.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] barry.bishop72:
I'm sorry, I don't have 4G, and have never had to use them. I just read where the keys were located and how to save them. I guess just start digging through the forum. I wish I could be more help, but I have no experience restoring the keys.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mkonei:
Worked perfect for me, no issues....thanks! Unfortunately...my RSA keys are missing...if someone can point me in the right direction, id appreciate it....and no i do not have a backup....doh!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] joeykrim:
it is very unfortunate. i might add something more to the message for those missing their keys. there is a thread or two on XDA regarding a process to attempt to recover.

Although, once they are gone and no backup has been made, I think the only option is to unroot and return to Sprint.

Sorry, its bad news...

So just read this thread. App worked perfect and quick.

To save my RSA Key, I need to pull the wimax img out of one my Nan backup?

What if I want to reinstall the img do I just drop it back in my nandroid?

Better yet I'm just gonna save a nandroid of one my best roms and put on my computer that way I will always have.

Well done sir, first app, I'm impressed. After I installed CM 6.1.2 wimax alpha, i thought I screwed my RSA keys into oblivion....
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] f4iclipser:
Nice app. So 4g isn't working and I'm missing the keys and but i did make a nand backup last week and have the wimax.img file.

How do I go about restoring the file back? I tried searching for the file in all the system folders but got no results.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] joeykrim:
That question is definitely out of the scope of this application and thread.

It is a perfect question for the question board!

Off the top of my head, as I havne't researched it and don't want to completely send you away with nothing, is I'd probably use busybox dd to copy your wimax.img back into the wimax partition.

I would suggest you heavily research this in the questions board. Best of luck and thanks for the feedback!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] spencer88:
Thanks for this, I wasn't sure if my keys were backed up correctly when I first started rooting and installing custom ROMs. To my delight, my keys were there! :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ccossin:
I installed the original version, but did not update because the update adds full internet access permission. Still, a great app.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nikumands:
Thank you for your easy to use app.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] aglide:
Running CM6.1.2. I ran the app and it tells me I'm missing my keys.

I was reading this thread about backing up your RSA keys, so just for fun I went through the process despite what the Key Checker told me.

Following the instructions there, I created the rsa_OEM.key backup file, and it was 3,734KB in size.

Opening it in a text editor shows that the file has contents that look like the keys to me. (two large blocks of characters at the top with quite a bit of white space after them).

If I "grep RSA /dev/mtd/mtd0", I get the following:

# grep RSA /dev/mtd/mtd0
grep RSA /dev/mtd/mtd0
RSA-REQUEST
RSA-REPLY
RSA-REJECT
RSA-ACK
RSA-1024
RSA-REQUEST
RSA-REPLY
RSA-REJECT
RSA-ACK
RSA-1024
RSA
ReRSA
RSA requests
RSA replies
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
#

If I run the backup command from the above mentioned thread against any of the wimax.img files in my old nandroid backups to compare, they all produce a file that's the exact same size: 3,734KB.

Also, the wimax.img file in all my nandroid backups, including one I just now made, is 12,288KB.

Am I okay or not?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] slushpupie:
Yeah, I suspect you are. Joey and I took a slight shortcut based on statistics and we dont currently read the whole partition looking for the key. Joey has the exact stats, but I think 98% of the keys found are in the same location, yours seems to be somewhere else. To aide us here, can you run this command:

grep -n 'RSA PRIVATE KEY' /dev/mtd0ro

and paste the results back here? It will help us figure out where in the partition your key is so we can improve the app.

Also, we planned on a future improvement that will eventually scan the whole partition if its not found using the shortcut, we just have not gotten that far yet.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] aglide:
Here's what I get when I run that command:

# grep -n 'RSA PRIVATE KEY' /dev/mtd0ro
grep -n 'RSA PRIVATE KEY' /dev/mtd0ro
grep: /dev/mtd0ro: No such file or directory
#

Let me know what you think and thanks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ccossin:
Greetings, Joey.

I was wondering why your app needs full internet permission? Is it for ads?

This has been a telepathic transmission from the Outer Limits.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] joeykrim:
Sorry, it was late and slushpupie has gone to bed. The command he gave you was slightly off. He didn't give you the full correct location for the partition to grep.

The correct command we could use your help with is:

grep -n 'RSA PRIVATE KEY' /dev/mtd/mtd0ro

I just tested it on my phone, copy and paste, and the command works.

I'm still awake working on coding the update to address this issue. Let me know what you find now with the full correct command!

Its a great question and I knew some people might have this concern on different levels. I did my best to try and articulate it as clearly as possible so everybody would be on the same page. Here is the disclaimer message copy and pasted from the code:

"In order to help further development by better understanding this application's usage, google analytics is employed to gather anonymous usage statistics. Rest assured no personally identifiable information is ever shared and only information relating to this specific application's usage would be collected. Appreciate your support!"

I'm not using any ads nor do I offer a donate version. I'm spending my personal time programming for the pure enjoyment of helping others. I use the data collected through google analytics to fine tune the program. One example is how we were aware of the above issue where approximately 2% of phones return no keys present when they are.

I appreciate the help and support of the community and enjoy the opportunity to interact and help out. Thanks!

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ccossin:
I didn't mean to rile you up, dude.

I didn't see the disclaimer because I didn't update the app yet.

Thanks for your response.

This has been a telepathic transmission from the Outer Limits.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] aglide:
I see that this app was updated with a change log suggesting a more thorough search of the wimax partition. Unfortunately it still thinks I don't have my keys even though I'm pretty sure I do. Let me know if you need any more info from my phone...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kermit3:
I have the same issue.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] joeykrim:
this is very interesting!

assuming both of you are using the latest version of the program, 2.6, this appears to be a small bug. according to the statistics, very few users are hitting this.

if either one of you have time, the best method for me to troubleshoot would be to give you a developer version of the program which throws info into logcat I could use to narrow down the issue.

if either of you could come onto irc (irc.freenode.net, #htc-evo), it would be easier to work with you there, or if irc doesnt work, shoot me an email (joeykrim at gmail ) when you have a chance.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kermit3:
hmm. on a whim I decided to upgrade my wimax radio to 27167 from 24722 and now your app finds my key.

# grep -n 'RSA PRIVATE KEY' /dev/mtd/mtd0ro

grep -n 'RSA PRIVATE KEY' /dev/mtd/mtd0ro

996422:-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

996448:-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] joeykrim:
lol. well that does confirm the possibility of our suspicion of the issue.

just updated the app and i think it should fix the issue some people were experiencing where it didn't find their key.

it seems while we were reading through the partition in small chunks to keep the overall reading time low, if the key was split between two different reads, it wouldn't catch the full key and reported the key as missing. instead now we overlap our reading in the searching algorithm and it should now catch full keys and maintain the same quick reading speed!

i've pushed the update to the market, version 2.7. for those who had issues with 2.6 not finding their key while it was in fact still there, your feedback would be very helpful! the number of users with this issue was around 2% so it has been hard for me to pinpoint people able to test.

thanks everybody for the support and feedback!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Edgie311:
Joey, I just ran the script below from your previous post and it shows the following...

# grep -n 'RSA PRIVATE KEY' /dev/mtd/mtd0ro

grep -n 'RSA PRIVATE KEY' /dev/mtd/mtd0ro

1213018:-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

1213044:-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

When I use your app it says keys are missing...Didn't know if I was part of the 2% or not using your app correctly. I thought I would post incase you needed anything to test.

Question..... Do I have my keys?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] joeykrim:
Yes, your keys are present and you are part of the 2%. I was able to figure out the bug and fix it but am struggling with the Android Market uploading the fix right now. Seems there is a slight server issue on their end. As soon as its resolved, I'll have the updated app out in the market!

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Edgie311:
Thanks let me know if you need any other info if it will help you work out a fix. I will get the updated app and report back.

EDIT....Got the market updated and it finds the keys and is very fast doing it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gottria:
Interesting, I guess was also in that 2%, after the update it finds my keys, but still says scanning when 4G is turned on.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] aph:
How about a function to backup/restore the wimax keys?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] joeykrim:
I'm glad the update allowed the application to correctly find your keys.

Why it says scanning w/o connecting is an issue outside of this thread. I know there are plenty of other resources and wish you the best of luck as I hope to keep this thread on topic for this application. I do appreciate your feedback and support.

I addressed this in the OP under the FAQ and it seems to be the most commonly requested feature. My reply is as follows:

Will this application Backup/Restore RSA keys?

I could add this functionality but perfer not to put at risk anybody's RSA keys by replacing them in an active and live environment. Both recoveries, Amon RA and Clockwork backup/restore the RSA keys in recovery mode. I'd prefer not to duplicate functionality.

Also the phone hardware architecture and software structuture creates a safer environment for partition altering in recovery mode.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] babyboy101977:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] irl5fan:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mskeys2xx3:
Question

So maybe I am missing something, but does this return the value of your WiMax or just confirmation that they are valid/invalid? It would be a nice feature if it also returned the value.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Notorious:
It confirms if they are valid or invalid
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] joeykrim:
more specifically than valid/invalid the app confirms whether the RSA key value is present or not present in the wimax partition.

hope that helps!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] FallsOnDefEars:
rsa keys present

My keys are present, but websites will not finish loading on my phone.

Has anyone else had or solved this problem?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] joeykrim:
The keys ensure the WiMAX connection can be established with Sprint. The quality of the connection would be unrelated to the keys.

This thread is dedicated to the application, WiMAX Keys, used to detect WiMAX keys and has no relation to WiMAX connection quality.

The Q&A board would probably be the best place to ask this WiMAX connection quality question. As a general approach, does email/google talk/maps work properly? If other functions which operate over WiMAX data work properly and the only issue lies with the Browser, might be worth clearing Browser cache, switching Browers or switching ROMs/kernels, in my opinion, in that order.

Hope that helps and appreciate the support!

Been trying to upgrade to MAGLDR112 from 111 but the installer cant find my device. The device is in flaser mode and awaiting usb connection but the Magldr112 installer fails to connect. I tried flasing two other Android nand roms and had no problems with both (just ran the installer right after Maglrd112 install failed with error 264).

Guys, you OBVIOUSLY don't read...

Please read post 3 and 5 then try again....You will get MAGLDR 1.12 flashed onto your HD2. There are hundreds off people that can attest this method works.....

OMG! Only if I had known this method sooner I wouldn't have wasted so much time updating MAGLDR by downgrading back to WinMo then MAGLDR again..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] anonuser1:
I've had the same issues for 1.12. I think it has something to do with it being plugged in.

Before you boot, unplug. Then get to the magldr screen. Then go to USB flasher. Then plug in USB. Run DFT.

This has worked for me every time.

I have yet to brick my g2, and I have swap many roms and kernals. His GPS is crap, along with his 3g. My g2 has everything his vibrent has and more. My g2 has 4g speeds, wifi hotspot( I even play mw2 on ps3 with no lag), a qwerty keypad, swype, 2.2 froyo, faster cpu, and a more true form of a google phone. I have my phone OC to 1.8MHz and my battery last all day with the help of setcpu. The Z hinge is not much of a problem, only if you lay on your back and use the keypad, but the way you hold the phone stops that problem. The g2 is able to do every thing the vibrent can and more but in the end its all up to you. Its your time and money, go to the store and take a look for your self.
