Hi ! I'm an embedded Linux dev, but I'm relatively new to Android and just got my Legend today. :)

Was trying to make a goldcard but stores are closed and I have no microSD writer. So I figured I should be able to make a goldcard on the phone itself. Couldn't find ANYONE anywhere who has actually done this.

But I needed root. I have a Canadian Virgin Mobile Legend at:

Firmware version:	2.1-update1

Build Number:	2.02.666.3 CLI177708 release-keys

I found this KillingInTheNameOf binary. I pushed it and ran it and got root shell. Hooray ! :)

Next step please nobody do unless you understand and take full responsibility if brick etc.

So I went to Legend Settings and formatted SD card and unmounted it. Then I ran:

dd bs=512 if=/sqlite_stmt_journals/goldcard.img of=/dev/block/vold/179:0

(I dunno if outfile "of" is same for all SDcards/phones, but it's right for mine.)

So I THINK I have a valid goldcard now. Was looking to downgrade to 1.31 RUU, so I can install ClockworkMod Recovery, ROM Manager, and some ROM or another.

But I'm wondering, now that I have root, albeit temporary, is their some shortcut I can use to get CMR etc. ?
[Legend Android Development] alexhtclegend:
Sorry, I don't think anyone has managed to change ROMs using temporary root. However, I just made the goldcard when it was in the phone; when the phone is mounted as a disk drive the pc just sees the SD card, not the phone. I don't think there's any danger in doing that!
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
Sure it is... just S-OFF your Legend and you'll be able to write to /dev/block/mtdblock? with no hassle.
[Legend Android Development] ali ba:
I actually just enabled UMS and used the phone as card reader. Some fdisk and dd later I had my goldcard and used Paul O'Brien's method to get permanent root.

So yes, it's perfectly valid to do it like that.
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
I wrote this last November...
[Legend Android Development] marclh1992:
You can S-OFF your legend with the modded alpharev flasher. Look in the development forum for the post.

Sent from my S-OFF Bell Canada HTC Legend.
[Legend Android Development] mikereidis:
Thanks all !

I went the normal, traditional route and am now running CM7 nightly. :)

Guess I'll presume the Bell S-Off is good on Virgin model and try that now.

Radio sucks though. :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitin985:
Could you please tell me about each governor and best one for havs kernels is smarTASS OK
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
There is no best setting, it's all personal. Some people want there phone to be real snappy and some like longer battery. Depending on what you like there is a best setting.

Read this, for the governors except interactive and smartass.

Since it seems you want to put in minimum effort from your side, smartass is fine.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] numb3r23:
between ondemand and interactive I personally think ondemand responds faster (although I thought it was the other way around). but it varies from a) application/usage and b)kernel so there's no "best" setting per se. I havent tried other settings yet...
[Off-topic] factualpuddle:
Okayyyy, I have used Linux Mint for a while now on my personal laptop, but, i went ahead and set up my desktop (which my grandparents also use) to dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu on two seperate HDDs, but since my grandparents use it, I need the OS choice screen to have Windows 7 at the top so in a certain amount of seconds it automatically boots that so my grandparents don't get their panties in a bunce when it automatically boots Ubuntu, lmao, how exactly would i go about doing this? thank you

*and please help soon.. =/ i don't wanna sound pushy but i have to get it fixed before i go to bed...

Try to edit boot.ini
[Off-topic] factualpuddle:
not sure what you mean... but i managed to edit the grub to at least boot Windows 7 after the 7 seconds.. but could anyone give me a better explanation as to changing the order of the selections? like to where it would have Windows 7 first, the Linux, etc..? and maybe even removing a few of the items?

and also, on the connection icon, there is a black bar? and input? (i included the screenie)
[Off-topic] idavid_:
to me win 7 is the 1st choice when i boot up. if i press down it selects ubuntu. i'm not sure if it's the same with you.
[Off-topic] avgjoegeek:
Found it in Google in like 2 seconds... :)

I can't imagine why you'd ever want to do such a thing, but if you must, edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst:

sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

and change the order of the entries at the bottom of the file. The topmost entry is the default boot.
[Off-topic] factualpuddle:
thank you, will try it when i get home^^ but i have to make it like that b/c my grandparent use this pc, and they would flip if it kept going into Ubuntu
[Off-topic] johnston9234:
it already auto-boots into Windows 7 doesnt it? just changing the order of the list wont change that fact
[Off-topic] Blåburk:
Pressing the Esc-key at the BIOS Logo-screen on my Eee PC netbook. will halt the boot from the primary boot disk and opening a screen for selecting a another boot drive (be it a CD-rom, HDD, USB-stick or a memory card).

My video player, a Nettop from ASUS with a Atom/ION motherboard pressing the F8-key (also when the boot screen is shown) will give you the same choices.

There might also be some helpful BIOS settings, in the BIOS Boot section.

Check your computer's/Motherboard's manual (There should be at least a downloadable PDF)
[Off-topic] factualpuddle:
i know it's not in the BIOS, lol, it's just a little nit pick for me, i know it is possible to edit it in the grub, but i do not know how =[ lol
[Off-topic] husam666:
**Master Husam enters :p**

there is a program for windows 7/vista to edit your bootloader forgot the name but I used it a lot a few years back.

However, if you are using a cracked windows, this will affect your crack and make windows "not genuine".

if you use windows xp or earlier this will work fine, windows 7/ vista uses grub as a boot loader (no more boot.ini hacks :()

if you read carfully, this will make the pc boot into ubuntu and the windows boot menu (which is usless).

I used this method when I was sick of the bootloader editor f***ing my crack *whistle*, but if you want to boot from the boot menu you need to remove ubuntu from the boot loader, disconnect the windows harddisk and install ubuntu on the other hard disk.

Did I write that?? :eek: :confused:
[Off-topic] husam666:
the black bar is not normal, but what do you mean by input?
[Fascinate Android Development] Domush:
Here is a concise set of walkthroughs for multiple phone customizations.

Even a beginner should be able to follow these walkthroughs.

All walk-throughs are based on the EB01 Froyo (Android 2.2) ROM Series. If this is not your desired ROM series, please replace the EB01 zip files with the zip files for your applicable ROM series.

If something sounds vague or unclear, let me know and I'll make sure i clear it up in the associated walk-through. Thanks go to anyone who wrote these mods, wrote portions of these instructions and hosts these files. If anyone notices a ROM or mod without credit, please let me know so I can add credit to the mod creator, as I don't know who made some of the mods.

These walk-throughs are made as a general guide only.

AS ALWAYS, BACKUP BEFORE YOU FLASH ANYTHING.

[Fascinate Android Development] Domush:
Rooting

What this does:

- Enables you to run apps which need access to advanced system features, such as data backups, wi-fi tethering and installation/removal of default apps.

Prerequisites:

Post 1

1. Extract downloaded FascinateRoot_v02.zip

2. Open the folder where you extracted the FascinateRoot_v02 files

3. Execute START_ROOT

4. Command window will appear

- Carefully read all directions

- Press any key when you are ready to continue

5. When the process is done it will say "Complete".

- Press CTRL+C to exit the rooting script

- Restart your phone.

6. Download titanium backup from Market (optional)

- Open Titanium Backup

- If it asks you for Superuser permission you have successfully rooted

- Give it permission

Done!

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

Troubleshooting Tips

Most Common Solutions to errors:

1.

Make sure you completed Post 1

2. Make sure your phone is connected using the original cable that came with the phone (e.g.: blackberry cables don't normally work)

3. Verify that debugging is enabled.

4. Try to run it again

adb push: Permission Denied

Your SD card is mounted to your PC.

- Use the drop down notification bar to turn off usb storage.

- Close out and start again

Prompt tells you that you do not have permissions

The process failed to grant you temporary root access.

- Close out and begin again.

After continuing from reboot the process freezes for a long time

This is normal. This process take a good 5 minutes, and it will appear frozen throughout this time.

Don't freak out

. Be patient.

Error Device not found

If this happens after continuing after first reboot, this means that the phone was not properly connected before continuing. After reboot unplug the phone, plug it back in, then continue.
