[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Silvist:
Some guy suggested to shell root > perm root > restart device. That doesn't work either. I also noticed something called "media scanner" that scans as the phone boots up, i wonder if that's preventing any modified files.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MikesTooLz:
If anyone knows how NAND unlocking has worked for other phones (and im not just talking about what apps to run or what room to use) please contact me so that we can try a few things out and hopefully get a full root for everyone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Silvist:
Supposedly Mr. Parker rooted:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682&page=260

I'm asking him through both post and through private message if he could elaborate. Apparently he had trouble with getting Win 7 x64 to work, but it worked with Win Xp. I'm still not sure what drivers he used, and he said he had it not in debug mode. I tried in non debug, and my phone wouldn't even register. So hopefully he'll expand on how he did it. If not, back to the drawing boards, at least till we get a real pro in here.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MikesTooLz:
Got my hopes up that even though we dont have full root yet, I would be able to get rid of the bloatware.

The SuperOneClick is able to get read/write access and send commands to the phone so I opened Root Explorer on the phone and then rand the superoneclick. As soon as the program mounted the phone with Read/Write I started clicking on the Mount R/W button in root explorer until it showed the app as having read/write access to the system/app directory. I tried deleting the Iron Man app and it said it was deleted successfully.

but then I checked and the app was still there :( loading root explorer agian then showed that the file was still there and had not been deleted.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Silvist:
Wow you managed to get root explorer to work? Mine just tries to obtain root, and crashes everytime i start it up now. I've tried to unroot, and uninstall and reinstall it. I used Linda manager to view the files on the phone, but like you if i deleted they would return on boot. That's why I think metro or samsung has some kind of media scanner that scans at start up, and it somehow reinstalls files, or prevents root. Can't confirm this yet because super user fails ;/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Metathias:
I've been trying also to get root. Programs often will think i have root access. as far as adb is concerned i do have root access till i dont something that requires it. I've been able to install root manager and look through some files. Im under the impression metro or samsung did install something odd, though im not sure the media scanner is it. Also the phone does not require root in order to install other-market software.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Silvist:
What do you mean programs "think" you have root? You mean you have super user? And what "programs" are you referring to? You can install root manager without a root yes, but in order to put it into "r/w" mode and delete the files from the phone itself, such as bloatware, you need root and Super user access. Most people here I hope are aware that you don't need to root to install "MOST" apps. There "is" apps that require root, and you cannot run them without root access.

Such as:

Titanium backup

Set CPU

Why do I want to root is like everyone keeps saying, to delete all the metro apps, and have "full" manufacturer control over the phone. That's the whole point of rooting. So far no one has rooted this phone PERIOD, or at least shown proof they were even able to. So any info you find regarding rooting please post it here.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Silvist:
Alright, so I tried what Mr. Parker did, and no go. Whether I ran super one click on Win 7 x64 (which was all in admin) or win xp, it would not install super user. In fact I noticed a couple of the files copied from super one click were already on the phone, and weren't able to be overridden. Which may relate to nand lock.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Silvist:
Also I always get this msg in super one click to matter what:

Creating /system/xbin...

mkdir failed for /system/xbin, File exists

OK

Which I think by it "failing" it fails to get the setup right for super user to work properly, or the command path is all messed up. Weird thing is if its already installed after I did a clean factory wipe, does that mean Samsung has the filed locked to prevent rooting?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Silvist:
Okay i was able to get the phone into custom recovery, which the typical powerbutton+volume up for other galaxy's, doesn't work on the R910 Indulge. I actually used the rooting program for captivate/vibrant here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=739300

Tried to use the update from those but lol didn't work. Anyways if a custom update made to root this phone, this would probably be the best place to start.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Silvist:
Credit for this goes to Mike, because he found it:

Search R910, so open source is out! Now that its out, lets get to rooting this bad boy!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Silvist:
This isn't looking good guys. Not enough help from any of the experience devs on any forum out there. Me and mike are really trying, but without experience it makes it tough. Any pointers on this would be welcomed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MikesTooLz:
Yes, please, any help at all.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Metathias:
Hey guys. I've been trying all sorts of different things on this phone. RHCP the who hacked the Galaxy S has offered to help for a small fee, maybe if we as a group were willing to donate a bit he'd be compelled to put it up for everyone. That is of course if we cant figure it out ourselves. Also if were gonna have hopes of getting Clockworkmod and rom manager working someone gonna have to send Koush their phone for a week or so. I have heard Koush is trustworthy, RHCP as well for that matter. On my end im by no means a hacker so i have'nt acheived much. First night i messed with it i got clockwork recovery on to my phone and bricked my recovery mode or so i thought, not sure about that one. I ended up finding a recovery 3e to reinstall and was capable of booting into recovery again, at first i did'nt think this recovery was working either (only power button worked to scroll down), but as it turned out i was only pressing the obvious keys. After going through the keyboard keys one by one N was the enter key for recovery. I did'nt ever test these button functions in the clockwork recovery so i have no idea whether clockwork was really froze on me or i was just pressing all the wrong button to meneuver in the menu. I've had limited success in all sorts of issues, but commonly fall into the not rooted issues. Some stuff thinks im rooted others dont. This must have to do with the nand lock. And i have a sneaking suspicion that any worth while rooting is going to have be installed using a recovery method or perhaps adb. I'll try to post again soon as im still heavy into discovery. Also i can install after market apps fine as well as USB tether without any issue. Also to have proper access to the device with adb your gonna need find the right samsung drivers to install.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Silvist:
First, what drivers you using? Since samsung hasn't released specific drivers for the R910, i've been using these as ive posted all over the place:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=728929

I tried ADB, and tried to force super user to the phone, still didn't unlock the NAND.

I'm definitely willing to donate if the need arises to, or demand even. Getting into recovery is easy if you use this:

http://theunlockr.com/down/Vibrant One Click Root.zip

or

http://theunlockr.com/down/Captivate One Click Root.zip

If you run either program, it'll reboot your phone into recovery mode. At work I know there's some kind of instructions for doing recovery like R button +pwr button, or something, but I just use that program instead cause i'm lazy lol.

Me and mike were trying to make a custom update.zip file to use in custom recovery to force root or get past this stupid NAND lock. Mike even tried to force a script to remove iron man app, to no avail so far. For update.zip i referred to here:

http://www.londatiga.net/it/how-to-create-android-update-zip-package/

Trust me I been knee deep in this **** since the day this phone came out, and so far, I haven't even gotten the phone to scream "MY *****" even once.

As for maneuvering the menu in custom recovery, power button is the enter key there. So yeah, we need a custom update.zip to break this NAND lock i'm thinking, but I don't have enough script knowledge on how the heck to do that.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Metathias:
Probably the same drivers as you they came in a group of like 20 directory's. We probably need to make a bounty thread for a nand unlock or a custom rom, one of those two. I have a feeling it would'nt be hard to stick a whole new rom on here, but im not really one to know. Koush is the lead on clockworkmod recovery, and to we really need a good recovery to play with this stuff, but he'd need a phone to get it going. He accepts other peoples phone and creates a usable image from them and send em back. Most of the time all goes off and the people get their phone back working and clockworked, if not you might get a bricked phone back. as far as i know koush can be found through his site and such or through IRC at freenet channel #koush . And RHCP who has personally offered to assist me for a fee can be found on efnet #android . From what i've seen of the standard recovery, its gonna have to go the moment you start hacking this thing. It does'nt accept update.zips , but if you **** up the recovery your in hot water. You can get it stuck in boot loops. So i would'nt play with anything. Leave it to bigger fish.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Silvist:
We'll see, Mike just found a way to remove the bloatware off the phone. Waiting on him to test and post a response about it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Silvist:
The real problem isn't that its NAND locked, is that in froyo 2.2.1 FR83 or whatever especially on this phone. Some files are invisible. Like from adb i can easily put my phone into root, but when it comes to modifying su or superuser.apk it can't find the file. YET when I use any file management program app on the phone, I can see that the superuser.apk and the su are in the correct location and are installed. Meaning the entire folder is probably set to hidden and of course read only.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RJSWEESY:
i just koush a pm about sending a phone
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Silvist:
For anyone who wants to follow all this since no one posts about Indulge here, refer to here:

http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-indulge/275462-first-attempt-rooting.html

Also if you go back to the main topic of Indulge you'll notice Mike made a way to remove bloatware.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Metathias:
Ok i've been quoted over on androidcentral and wanted to clarify a couples things. RHCP is they guy who had the first (well established) method of rooting the samsung galaxy not Koush. As far as Koush bricking phones, i consider it a highly unlikely event as Koush is very experienced and knows his limits. However i admitted the possibility of a brick being returned as a possibility of the worst that could happen, but let me re iterate i see that as a very low likelyness because of Koush excellent history in the android recovery scene. However as a side note its not guaranteed Koush can do anything at this time as Koush usually only creates clockwork recovery roms for already rooted/nand unlocked phones. RHCP mentioned something to me about getting his team a phone to work on. I dont know if he ment permanent or not. We have learned alot in just a couple weeks and im certain if we keep the buzz going on this we'll find it sorted sooner than later.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MikesTooLz:
I got root via SU that doesnt hook into Superuser.apk.

rjsweesy over on androidforums.com said he noticed apps getting root once he pushed this SU over to the phone.

It looks like the phone may not be nand locked and is in fact just something strange that samsunge is doing to block sertain apk files from running or installing. This SU just grants all apps root instead of hooking into superuser.apk to prompt you to allow/deny root access.

We will need a new superuser.apk that is not block or find a way to remove samsongs method of blocking these apps.

If you grab the indulge bloatware removal script i posted over on androidinvasion.us it now will also swap out the SU and give root to all apps.

[Adam General] Eujin:
So after inspiron's post about the Adam battery life being pretty decent, here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=948923

I saw some threads about how to make it better here on XDA and elsewhere.

Apparently the "Cell Standby" application takes up a decent chunk of battery life from any android tablet running it.

While I can find info about removing it on the nook color, such as the post here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=888216

I'm not sure if that'll work on the adam.

Has anyone had success in removing that process, or is any intrepid coders willing to try to find a way to remove it?
[Adam General] bearsfan85:
there was some information about this for the viewsonic tablet, which is closer to the adam, ill see if I can find the link to that. I'll end up messing with the adam this weekend.
[Adam General] legaleagll:
There have been several posts from a luis84 over at notionaddicts.com and he indicated that he was able to shut it down using a variation of the nook script. He appears to be onto something with what he has done.

http://www.notionaddicts.com/forums/showthread.php/1437-Battery-life/page10

Here are his last couple of posts:

"adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

adb shell mv /system/app/Phone.apk /system/app/Phone.OLD

adb shell mv /system/app/TelephonyProvider.apk /system/app/TelephonyProvider.OLD

adb reboot

is the code used.

of course that did not work on my Adam so I manually navigated to the directories and renamed the target files.

Here is my results: I don't know yet. I just did it, I will post results later. After a reboot the cell standby is gone which is a good sign."

"@Flaunt after letting it standby all night it lost 3% charge. I then proceeded to watch Justin.tv (no judging) for 2 hours in Bed this morning, which is LCD at 80% brightness + Wifi for data (Justin.tv is streaming) and it lost an additional 9%. So I would confirm it is a SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT. With these results, I could theoretically watch streaming TV for 11 hours without a problem.

I am fairly impressed. I still feel it can do better, there is a ton of other crap running. I am hopeful once honeycomb comes and real support for the TEGRA 2's power management system.

I recommend everyone to immediatly remove the cell standy service. One annoying fault, mine came back after a reboot so it looks like I would have to run the above command after every reboot, since I rarely reboot Adam this is not an issue. I will try it again and see if it comes back, if it does maybe we can automate the process somehow."
[Adam General] legaleagll:
Basically my understanding, if I am reading his posts correctly, is that he manually changed two files "/system/app/Phone.apk" and "/system/app/TelephonyProvider.apk" to "/system/app/Phone.OLD" and t "/system/app/TelephonyProvider.OLD" and then after a reboot, the cell standby service process was no longer running, but after a subsequent reboot, it reappeared.
[Adam General] emengweb:
You can try use RootExplorer delete these files, it should be work.:)
[Adam General] litening:
Maybe a noob question here. Would removing/renaming phone.apk also remove the 3G data connection or only voice calls, which the Adam doesn't support anyway?
[Adam General] Flaunt77:
The issue is that because Android up till now (pre-honeycomb) has exclusively been a phone OS - there are certain apps and processes that may be running that deal with phone features. Those apps - even if a device does not support their function - may run in the background and drain battery life. For instance, and this is hypothetical, the phone app may constantly be searching for signal or phone antenna and never find it but keep running in the background.

As of yet - no one really knows what CELL STANDBY does - however it appears that removing the app improves batt life.
[Adam General] inspiron41:
i will give this a try since i dont use my tablet as a phone...{silly people} lol

i usually get a 24-29% drain through a day with minimal usage. with most of it going to cell standy...whooping ~71%!
[Adam General] litening:
Great Inspiron,

Can you check you still have 3G data functionality when you remove phone.apk and the other file mentioned.

I am not sure if these apps also handle part or all of the data connections (wouldn't expect them to but you never know).
[Adam General] inspiron41:
instead of seeing Cell Standby i see Phone Idle...should i be concerned? It's like consuming like 89% percentage of my battery usage after an hour.

Phone Idle - 89%

Wifi - 7%

Display - 4%
[Adam General] Koadic:
It all depends I guess... in that hour, how much did your battery go down? Going by the quoted NotionAddicts post, if they had only 3% battery loss when the adam was left on overnight, and assuming at least 6 hours, that is a total system drain of about .5% an hour. The only way to determine what your saving is to measure what battery % your losing while doing nothing with the Adam (screen off, in standby) with both the standard setup and the modified setup. I would try to do this overnight (to avoid withdrawl :D) two nights in a row, keeping the time the same, and then comparing the results

If adam loses 25% after 6 hours with Cell Standby, then you can extrapolate a time of about 24 hours in standby. If the adam loses 5% after 6 hours with the Phone.apk/TelephonyProvider.apk renamed/removed, then you can extrapolate a time of about 120 hours in standby. Therefore, with those numbers, you would have 5 times the standby time with those apk's removed. (The numbers used are for illustrative purposes only)

Another thing people may want to try is removing/disabling the DRM Content service. I don't know if it would apply to the adam (as many other android phones don't have the issue), but I have a samsung epic 4g, and on the current stock rom, that is one of the biggest battery hogs because it won't let the phone sleep properly sometimes resulting in about 5-10% battery loss an hour (1500mAh battery compared to adam's 6500-7000 mAh battery (if my math is correct)). If you remove it, it may cause audio/video playback issues, but if you just disable it using Titanium Backup (by 'freezing' it) or Auto Starts (root needed for both), everything works fine.
[Adam General] willverduzco:
Assuming you've enabled Market access already, you may want to make sure that everything in the market is still viewable. There were problems with the second to latest build of Nookie Froyo for the Barnes & Noble Nook Color because the dev had removed Phone and Camera APKs. Once he restored them, the apps were back for everyone.
[Adam General] inspiron41:
i can't give straight numbers, but after minimal uses, my battery drain down to 72% after 10.5 hrs. i was expecting my batteries to be at like 55-64%. that's with Auto-Brightness enabled and everything else disabled. but i did connect to the internet once to check whether i got the update
[Adam General] finndo:
On my HTC Evo with the Seidio 3500mAh battery I accidentally left it in airplane mode for 19 hours, battery loss was just under 3% also, I have not seen "cell standby" since two updates back (the one before christmas, not the one right after). Should be getting my Adam the first week of March and hope to be able to get some impressive battery life out of it. I always run my screen brightness at 12% or less indoors on my Evo, so I may spend most of my time in e-ink mode on the Adam. Since I got the wifi model, I'll be rooting and trying the afore mentioned renaming of the cell .apk's and I'm looking forward to anything else that comes up on XDA for battery improvement.

[General Questions and Answers] MikeB89:
Hi guys, I am new to the forum. Used to have a Droid with Verizon. Yesterday I bought a Droid X fully flashed to Metro PCS. The kid showed me that the internet and picture messaging worked. We went to the market and downloaded an app to make sure that worked. He got it flashed, and then later someone else fully flashed it. We tested out a few websites just to make sure, and we weren't on wi-fi.

After a million struggles with the Metro PCS team of the Customer Service phone line, we finally got it activated.

Thing is, that it seems the 'fully' flashed disappeared. No internet, market place access, mms, etc.

Anyone know if reactivating a phone makes all these settings disappear and will I have to re-flash it? It still works with Metro, just none of the good stuff works.

If anyone can explain how to fix this or help me out in any way it'd be awesome.

Thanks,

Mike
