"Yes, I just got the root explorer app from the market....when I tried to open the data folder it keep saying your "your phone doesn't appear to be rooted" so my question what did you used to root the phone so that you gain access to the data folder...thanks for the help....
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sammd301:
This is the gfree/rage method, since visionary doesn't work on my OTA G2
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prittyboy203:
Sorry for the late response I had actually used visionary for the temp-root only just to gain a few sec of access to move the file and type in the commands
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sammd301:
you are indeed on of the luck ones who actually got visionary to work on the g2 after OTA update.....you see I have tried visionary r14, r13,r12, r11 and r3 (all of which be could download on the web) none of them work even for temp-root....The only only version of visionary that previously work on my phone was the one from the android market (visionary r7), which is no longer available... By the way, if you still have visionary on your phone could you please check to see if it is the r7 version, if so could you please send me a copy...thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prittyboy203:
Oh wow I didn't even know I there was only a few that visionary worked for. I had used the same guide but I used a video off youtube to sorta get a look at what was going on. but they kept saying the version 11 was the only on that worked but I broke my mytouch like that. Then I got the g2 and went with the gfree true s-off method. and man I wish I wish I had the version 14 file I used but I took that off my phone asap cuz I didn't want something crazy happen. I couldn't find any other version for the life of me lol. They had goten taken down from every site I went to. so I just thought if I used it to get temp root and move the files around I could get it done without a laptop I whould be good. It only took 10 min to get mine rooted.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sammd301:
Thanks for your input...it funny the only version of VISIONARY that work for my phone was Visionary R7 (from the android market),...I currently have copies of the Visionary R14, R13,R12,R11, & R 3 none of them work....they just keep on looping and force closes....

this happened to me.. re push the files and all the steps from that first file pushing steps over again
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prittyboy203:
Wow I would be pissed lol. And rite they wont load after hitting the temp root to right have you turned on usb debugging on?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sammd301:
"Was re pushing the files able to solve the problem...because I have been doing that and so far have got past the error message..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sammd301:
Yep the USB debugging has been on since the very beginning of my attempts to root this phone
[Xoom Themes and Apps] keitht:
I started this to discuss how to take screenshots with the Xoom. Here are the instructions that work for me. If something is not working for you, reply here and we will see if we can get you up and running.

You have to have the Android SDK loaded on your computer:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

You will also need Java Development Kit installed (make sure you download the proper version for your OS. Use Windows for 32-bit and Windows x64 for 64-bit):

https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHO...ProductRef=jdk-6u24-oth-JPR@CDS-CDS_Developer

You run the ddms.bat file from the Android SDK tools folder in a CMD window (to see if there are any errors). While you can just double click the file, if it doesn't bring up the application window, there may be an error that will not be displayed unless you launch it from a CMD window. If you didn't change the default installation path when installing the Android SDK, you will find the ddms.bat in C:\Program Files\Android\Android-SDK\tools.

The Xoom will need to be in debug mode under Settings > Applications > Development. When you launch ddms.bat successfully, a window will launch and you select your device from the list and choose Device > Screen Capture. You do not have to be rooted. See attached screenshot of the main application window.

If you still have problems especially getting the computer to recognize the Xoom in debug mode, follow the instructions here: http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...vers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers?pubid=987654

EDIT: I will tweak the instructions based on input provided in replies.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ghoticov:
Ok, I uninstalled everything and reinstalled... still the same issue. Here is what I get when I run in the CMD window (notice that I installed the Android SDK in C: Program Files (x86) \ instead of C:\Programs Files\ like I did in the other thread. The reason being is that I installed the Java in Program Files (x86) also and I didn't know if that mattered. For some reason I have a Program Files folder and a Program Files (x86) Folder and most of my programs, it seems, are in the Program Files (x86) Folder.

Anyway, here is the screen shot:

When I changed the path in System Variables, I replaced everything that was on that line with what you wrote in the other thread. I have a feeling I may have replaced something that may have been needed.

Right now, this is what I have in System Variables in the Path section:

;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\Android-SDK\tools;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\Android-SDK\platform-tools

Also, I am not sure if I need the USB Drivers. I can drag and drop files to my xoom with no problems but when I plug it up with USB Debugging selected, it tries to find drivers unsuccessfully so I just "X" out of it.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] keitht:
For one, you should not have replaced everything in the line for the path. That may cause system instability and other applications to stop working. You should have appended to the end of the line! The path variable is important because it allows Windows to know where to look for things without specifically entering the path.

Do you have regular Java installed?

http://java.com

I know you installed the JDK but try installing regular java too and see if that helps. By the way, I do not have to launch anything as Administrator.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] keitht:
Please also post what version of Windows 7 you have... is it 32-bit or 64-bit?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ghoticov:
Yes, I have regular JAVA. I went to the site to check and got this:

Verified Java Version

Congratulations!

You have the recommended Java installed (Version 6 Update 24).

My system seems to be running ok even thought I replaced everything in the Path with what I put above. Could there have been something there that I deleted that could mess up the process?

Also, Is there any way to find out what I deleted? lol
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ghoticov:
I am running Windows Vista 64 bit.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] keitht:
No but it may be possible to do a system restore to the last checkpoint to restore what you had in the path variable.

Vista ick. It should work on Vista but it is nothing but a bag of problems.

The error is complaining that it cannot find java in c:\program files\java. With 64-bit systems, there are two Program Files:

C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (x86).

Do you have a java folder in c:\program files? If you open that in Explorer, do you see what I have in mine? Screen attached.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ghoticov:
no, I do not have a java folder in c:\program files. I only have a Java folder in C:\Program files (x86)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] keitht:
That may be the issue. Did you install Windows x64 version from here?

https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHO...ProductRef=jdk-6u24-oth-JPR@CDS-CDS_Developer
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ghoticov:
Ah ha! I believe I installed the "Windows" version and not the "Windowx64" version. Do I need to uninstall the other version first?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] keitht:
That is what I did. But uninstall the other one first then install x64 since you have 64-bit vista.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ghoticov:
I think I am almost there!!!!

I got the Dalvik Debug Monitor to come up. Now do I just plug my xoom in and it will come up on the screen?

Btw... I tried to run the ddms.bat file in the CMD window again but it told me to add : "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\bin\java.exe" to the end, so I did. I ran it again and got the Debug Monitor.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] keitht:
At this point it is a matter of connecting to the Xoom. Your Xoom needs to be in Debug mode to connect as seen in screenshot. Once selected, plug in and it should work unless you get an error in Windows.

Debug mode on the Xoom can be enabled in Settings > Applications > Development.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ghoticov:
Ok, I plugged up the xoom and it tried to find the drivers (which it didn't). Just clicked the "X" to get out of the driver search.

I then ran ddms.bat and got this:

My xoom is plugged up and USB Debugging is checked but apparently it isn't recongnizing the device as being plugged up because of not having the drivers. Do you know where I can get those?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] keitht:
In Windows 7, there are no additional drivers needed so I do not know what to do at this point unfortunately. You can try this although I am not sure if that will work since you can already transfer files from Vista to Xoom?

http://www.gigadroid.com/androidtalk/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=41

Hate to keep beating a dead horse but Vista really sucks especially with drivers and devices.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ghoticov:
yes, I have been able to transfer files from my laptop to my xoom... pictures and movies. I will take a look at that link though.

Should the xoom just show up as a device once it is plugged in?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ghoticov:
Yea I would love to go to Windows 7 but I am not that great with computers and I assume it would take a lot of time (backing everything up) to do it.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] keitht:
Yes and since you copied files already, it is working for that. USB debug does not appear to use the same protocol. What is the error you are getting?

Also try: http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...tware_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ghoticov:
Well, when I plug my xoom in (when I have USB debug clicked), it starts searching for drivers. Then it asked for me to insert the installation disk for MZ600. I click check for solutions and then the attached error comes up.

[HTC Inspire 4G] magnumforce2006:
So my GPS was working fine for its limited use over the past few weeks that I owned the Inspire.... Now I'm having a rough time.

I downloaded a geocaching app called c:geo and was getting very erratic location locks on coordinates (it would tell me a cache was over 200 feet away when it was literally right on top of me).

Then, yesterday, while trying to use the GPS with google maps in my car, it continually lost signal, and would often not be able to reconnect.

This is rather troubling to me, as the GPS seemed to be working fine as of earlier last week.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jc2470:
exchange it
[HTC Inspire 4G] magnumforce2006:
Update: Just went outside and stood with the GPS and it kept searching for GPS in google maps... I think I might be returning this and getting another.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Sportsguy15:
Try downloading Fasterfix from the Market.
[HTC Inspire 4G] magnumforce2006:
So this is quite weird... after downloading GPS status, I was noticing that I was getting NO satellites... I leave the app on for awhile, just fiddling around with things, and out of nowhere I get a fix on 7 (in my house).

I take the phone out to a nearby cache and it's accurate within 4 meters... ?_?
[HTC Inspire 4G] 9646gt:
Don't return the phone yet. Do to settings>location the the very last option listed should let you reinstall / recover the locations app/ Doing this fixed mine perfectly. Also remember some cases interfere with the gps antenna
[HTC Inspire 4G] magnumforce2006:
Went ahead and returned it anyway, may as well while I'm still in the 30 day period. New GPS works like a charm, at first.

Also I was not using a case.
[HTC Inspire 4G] magnumforce2006:
For future reference, where is this exactly?

All I see in Settings > Location is

-Use Wireless networks

-Use GPS Satellites

-Phone Finder

That option appears in some of the DHD roms and not available in the stock AT&T rom.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] stephendollar7:
Hello everyone,

As you can see my dx won't recieve picture messages. I am a rooted user and have done lots of research and it mainly leads to the fact that I deleted stock messaging. Supposedly the stock messaging controls the mms receiving. My friends wil send pictures and I won't eveb know until the next day when they ask if I got them. So my question is does anybody know why? And if it is from the fact yhat I deleted stock text, can someone please post it on here so I can dl it and recieve mms again.i
[Droid X Themes and Apps] camiam:
for some reason they take a lil while to come in . but they eventually do. Did you press down on the message and select download ?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] rayne58:
Check if you can send the mms's if not you gotta sbf...same thing happened to me
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bigshotproducer:
I am pretty sure the blur sms/mms is needed for pics....unless using aosp sms/mms. Though I could be mistaken.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] stephendollar7:
I'm thinking since I deleted the stock messaging apk that is why I can't recieve them. I don't even have the option to long click and stuff. They never come to my phone. As tho it had never been sent but my friends have showed me where they sent them and it never showed up on phone. I am currently looking for updated stock messaging apk file so i can try and dl it and figure out if that was my prob
[Droid X Themes and Apps] aaronx12:
somtime sthe rooted rom has problems with mms, try using a differnt texting app like Handcent sms which allows you to customize and activate your mms. or it could be your baseband.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] stephendollar7:
I've tried both chomp and handcent and no luck. Now ive found the deodexed messaging apk for my version and when I go to install thru root explorer it says "application not installed". I've copied to system/app folder. Mounted. Changed permissions annd still no luck. Anyone know wutttt else I have to do to reinstall this apk? Please he:eek:lp
[Droid X Themes and Apps] zwade01:
After you put it in system/app/ and change permissions you gotta reboot (not try to "install" it).
[Droid X Themes and Apps] stephendollar7:
Ok I jus put in...changed to rw r r and I rebooted. Now wut? I still cannot send or recieve the pictures? Do i need to apply a deodexed Messaging.apk intot the system/app folder? And after dropping it in there all I do is unmount and reboot...right? That is what u are saying isn't it?
[Fascinate General] jesterdallas:
Hi everyone, a friend told me about this site last night after showing me his newly rooted phone, and i decided to check it out but...

My fascinate is stuck with the yellow triangle saying "downloading...' and "do not turnof target!!!"

i have downloaded odin, but it doesn't seem to recognize my phone or the clockwork file. i tried the one click root and keep getting the "error: device not found" though it goes through the whole process and eventually says complete.

so any help is appreciated. sorry if i left any info you need out, just let me know. thanks

EDIT:

*******Got this part fixed, now trying to flash clockwork. See last post**************
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
Your phone is in download mode. You can safely unplug and reboot you aren't in the middle of flashing something with Odin. Have you downloaded the current drivers? You can get them here. Once you have the drivers installed, open Odin, with battery out of the phone hold down the volume - button and plug in the USB. This should turn the first com port box in Odin yellow. If it doesn't do that, reboot the PC and try again
[Fascinate General] azturbomini:
Pull the battery then power back on.
[Fascinate General] jesterdallas:
okay, the battery pull got it back up and running...and installed the drivers from the link provided above. (maybe the link from the guide i was using is outdated?)

now.. going to put it in debug and try the root again, then flash clockwork with odin.
[Fascinate General] jesterdallas:
okay, so with the drivers installed i'm still getting the "error: device not found".
[Fascinate General] jesterdallas:
ok, thanks guys! got it running and rooted. next step is doing the clockwork flashi guess? either way i'll try it again later. thanks again.
[Fascinate General] jesterdallas:
.bin .tar for clockwork

i'm looking at the clockwork guide, and have odin pulled up and it shows in yellow:

0:[com4] and 1:[com3]. my first question is which do i use ro does it matter at all?

also, i see where the guide says to click PDA then the .tar file, but no .tar file is appearing. there is a .bin file in the unzipped folder.... am i missing something??

[Xoom General] keitht:
LCD screens do not work well in sunlight. That is just how it is. If you need that, you need to look for devices that have Pixel Qi screens. As for skipping, I have not seen that on mine.

EDIT: You can help reduce glare by getting a good screen protector. You can also manually adjust the screen brightness. But overall, LCD's are not good in sunlight.

Have all the internet tech idiots come to this forums in the last week or what. 90% of what people whine about on here in reference to the Xoom are typical current day tech limitations. What is wrong with people? If they all think the grass is greener in Apples lawn go for it.

I miss when XDA had chill posters who actually had a clue. Looks like those days are gone.

Now I feel like i'm an android expert (i'm not) with all these posts in here. I think people aren't used to what these forums are really for.

Probably there's no good Xoom forum out their besides this, and I think this is first in Google's search results, thus we get the above...

On my ipad I got an antiglare screen that worked ok. I just ordered one of these to try:
[Xoom General] mgerbasio:
I have an anti-glare screen protector for my ipad, but I wasn't impressed. Still has a lot of glare but my xoom seems worse so maybe it does work. A friend of mine just picked up screen protectors from the Apple store for his iphone and these look great. It is like a matte finish, doesn't pickup finger prints and really cuts back on the glare.

The company seems only to make products for Apple devices. However, I'm waiting for Boxwave screen protectors that, from the description, seem similar. They won't ship for another week so I'll comment when I get them.

I read on the bus going into NYC, the windows are tinted but when the sun is coming in, you know it - bright and hot. Anyway, I was actually surprised the screen was very readable and I keep the brightness on the lowest lever. I don't know, for me, the screen is very bright especially when I'm reading at night, my eyes are bleeding after 15 minutes.
