[Atrix 4G Android Development] TheScream:
It isn't so much someone could access your wifi tether, but more that the data can be captured and easily decrypted. Anything you do over that connection may as well be broadcast for all to see. (Unless you're using https etc for everything)

I use the android-wifi-tether app on bluetooth only, unfortunately it also sucks battery more than the usb port on my mac can supply so the battery depletes in a few hours.

Thank you to the OP for providing a way to enable the built-in tethering.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bartsplanet:
Thanks, OP fixed.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] siriby:
Thanks for the step by step
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TheScream:
I am not sure if it made any difference to it working, but as I'm with Telstra (Australia) I added 'default,agps,fota,supl,tether' to the entry for "Telstra Internet" and it works perfectly.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] humjaba:
Not sure if this has been beaten to death yet, but do we for sure know that AT&T cannot track this? How are connection speeds?

I've read a few posts expressing concerns about AT&T automatically switching people to the tether/4GB plan (I have the 2GB plan), and also slow (<1mbit) download speeds. Can someone shed some light on this?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] johnnobts:
i think they can tell when we swtich from "phone" to "wap.cingular," it showed a record of me switching between the two. I also looked up my data usage and got 2 reports of usage rather than just one. still my data plan has remained unchanged. this also happened when i would switch out my sim card b/w my windows 7 samsung focus and my dell streak, and att didn't do anything. i figure if they contact me about this i can just say i've been swapping my sim card between phones. don't think they can tell the difference there (may be wrong).
[General Questions and Answers] nyc640:
Hey, sorry if this is a really noob question, but I couldn't find an answer elsewhere.

Anyway, I have Rom Manager installed, my phone is rooted, I have granted SU permissions, and I've tried flashing all current and past versions of the recovery image, but when I press "Backup Current ROM" all it does is reboot my phone. No backup is made and no error pops up, just a simple reboot. Likewise if I select "Reboot into Recovery".

Anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks:)

Btw, I'm on a DroidX if that affects anything.
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
Try flashing an alternate recovery or manually boot into recovery - I'm not sure the method for your phone, though. I don't like cwm, too many issues. I use Amon Ra for my Evo, I think the Droid X has SPRecovery. You should be able to flash it through ROM Manager.
[Dell Venue] yungboss22:
Hey everybody

LETS WORK TOGETHER TO CREATE THE FIRST CUSTOM ROM FOR THE DELL VENUE We need a good rooting software and a decrypted UPDATE.pkg. Everybody knows that the Dell Venue uses FASTBOOT like the Dell Streak so the procedures should be the same.
[Dell Venue] vugiang:
Good rooting software: SuperOneClickv1.5.4-ShortFuse :)
[Dell Venue] madeinmk:
Dell hasnt released update.pkg for Venue. If someone knows how to pull the file from the phone then we can make custom rom.

Also, Venue doesn't have the fastboot mode like the one in Streak.
[Dell Venue] yungboss22:
Yes the Venue uses fastboot
[Dell Venue] hwon123:
fastboot

fastboot enter...

Venue's power supply on when holding the Volume down key.
[Dell Venue] Sofakingdope79:
Enter Fastboot

I found out you can get to the fastboot menu by:

Holding both up & down volume while turning on the phone.

Release power like normal while continuing to hold both volume buttons until you reach fastboot.

Now all we need is a custom rom to install via update.zip...
[Dell Venue] yungboss22:
And also, u can hold the down volume while connecting the phone to usb charger. You'll see a custom recovery from Dell with a LOT OF OPTIONS like earase partitions, battery settings and other that i can remember

I will post some pictures soon (:
[Dell Venue] QooFiren:
can someone help to create the custom rom of dell venue?
[Dell Venue] npspears:
custom rom and kernel please

a custom rom and a custom kernel would be awesome. Dell's official 2.2 rom is too stinkin slow. For a phone with this kind of specs, it is way slower than similar spec'd phones
[Dell Venue] michaelming:
I tried to get the source code from Dell.

In Venue-HOW-TO-BUILD.txt, it's showing that part of venue are built from android donut. And I can't find "source tree of android froyo from Qualcomm"
[Dell Venue] jitin02:
Good rooting software till now is Gingerbreak.apk

worked for my dell streak + dell venue + xperia x10

it works without ****ing up anything

just search for ginger break in this site and install , then click root ............wait for sometym and ur phone will reboot ....................and u r done. tym takes - 4-5 minutes without fail
[Dell Venue] Agent5150:
I tried Gingerbreak 1.20 apk. didn't root my venue (tmobile froyo 2.2.2). But I did not leave it running for 4+ minutes. Will try again tonight.
[Dell Venue] jitin02:
It must root,

As it was successfull for me

Just install

-click ROOT a window will open

-wait for mints , say 1 or may b 2 (i didnt count tym actually) . And ur devic will reboot , try waitng if it takes tym but hopfully it will nt,

Pls do confirm if u already rooted
[Dell Venue] Agent5150:
Nope, left gingerbreak running for 30 min. just sits and spins.. nothing doing on 2.2.2 dell rom. I am talking about 2.2.2 on Dell venue (not Streak, gingerbreak works fine on Streak).
[Dell Venue] kayakwb:
worked on my venue,glad to get rid bloatware
[Dell Venue] maevro:
Superoneclick 1.54 worked like a charm, much easier to root the Venue than the Streak 5, IMO. (AT&T)

Now I just need Gingerbread on the phone and ill be even happier. Love the device tho, I have been very impressed with Dell running Android, much more than I have been with HTC.

Wish my Streak 5 extended battery worked on the Venue, that upset me. I have this $50 Dell rebate card that came with the Venue, I dont know what to get.
[Dell Venue] LDiggity:
Unlocking and Rooting Dell Venue 7, 8, and 10

Dell has released instructions and files to unlock bootloader and root the device. I have linked the parent directory, you will also need "Intel Flash Tools Lite" (it says OS required in Ubuntu but you can find the Windows version online as well - I use Win10 and it worked fine). Follow the instructions in the .pdf provided from Dell and when it says to run the commands in the Ubuntu terminal just use elevated command prompt in windows, the adb commands are the same.

**IMPORTANT - Device has to be FULLY charged or Flash Tools will show it as not detected during flash. You have to follow step 1 and 2 of the process flashing the opensource firmware then use adb to sideload the OSS .zip. Obviously ONLY download from official links I have provided below. The first one is an official linked from Intel on this page: (I am new so it won't let me link, but just add https: in front of links)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pguerilla:
So I rooted my Telus Desire a while back (September 2010) and now I was tinkering around with it by trying to install a different ROM. I have no idea why but when it loads up, it hangs on the HTC logo with the white background and no dice. Does not go further from here. I have tried to get into recovery, and the screen is black. Any suggestions????
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhysX:
so there might be a few things to check...

did you oc your cpu with the previous rom?

are you sure you installed the rom^^?

take out the sdcard, and try again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
Is it CDMA?

Did you flash a GSM ROM?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezas:
I flashed 2.9nv by doing a reset/wipe => pushing Stock EB01 Engineering build => pushing Stock EB01-root-CWM => then flashing SC 2.9.

Everything is great and clock lag and poor battery life are now fixed. But as I've been going through my phone I noticed that I had no messages (which I would expect given the reset/wipe). So I went into TiBU and restored data only for the Messaging app. I still didn't have my messages. Now I'm bummed I did this restore since I was trying to avoid any restores from TiBU's.

So I reinstalled an application that I had used when backing up to install 2.9 called SMS Backup & Restore and used that to restore my messages.

How are others restoring messages after a reset/data wipe?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luigi1111:
I've been using that same program; works pretty well for me.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Watanuki-Kun:
Restore the [SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage in TiBU, and reboot the phone. Your msgs, should be restored.

Drocap2 is just not for me..

Shootme when I try to upload a picture via phone says file is not valid extension.

I hate that drocap2 always has superuser allowing thing at bottom but shootme doesn't work.

Can someone provide a alternative or a fix?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
I upload to picassa and dropbox, then just paste the url into xda.... is that what you mean?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:

[Xoom General] jmc2543:
Here are the .IMG files that Motorola has posted on their MOTODEV site. .

ATTENTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLASH THIS FILE ON ANYTHING BUT THE VERIZON WIRELESS MOTOROLA XOOM Z600 (3G MODEL) OR YOU WILL HAVE A SHINEY PAPER WEIGHT!!!!

These files are from Motorola's Development site but I take no liability with anything that happens with your device if something goes wrong.

Official HRI39 Motorola .IMG files:

http://www.multiupload.com/9XP1B8LSWC

Official HRI66 Motorola .IMG files:

http://www.multiupload.com/POUDJY1255

The following are the steps from the MOTODEV site

1. Extract files into android sdk /tools folder.

2. Start command prompt/ terminal from the android sdk tools folder. (How this is done on Mac I do not know, Windows: shift+left click and select "open command window here")

3. adb reboot bootloader

4. fastboot flash boot boot.img

5. fastboot flash system system.img

6. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

7. fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

8. fastboot erase cache

9. fastboot oem lock

The device will lock and reboot.

You are now back to out of box state. However I do not know if it is still detectable by VZ Moto if you have unlocked the device after doing this.

Also fyi the sbf file is still an option but you will have to go in and do the fastboot oem lock after it completes
[Xoom General] PaulG1488:
u mispelled cache
[Xoom General] jmc2543:
Fixed. Thanks had a long day and missed that at proof reading
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Thanks for the files, does seem a lot simpler to just use the sbf file though.
[Xoom General] cellzealot:
Its always good to have more options and the Xoom gives us many and hopefully soon sdcard support will provide the final key piece, the CM recovery!

In the meantime it is very good to have all of the official files at our disposal.

If anyone is wondering what the the reflash file from the first leak is, it is an SBF format installation of the stock boot image and a blank user data image to wipe data and return to stock via RSD Lite without touching the system partition.

This provides yet another way to reset that should be examined, especially if it works over a modified system partition.

We also may be able to use any or all of these files to build our own SBF files and other one step solutions for recovering and or modifying the Xoom. This can be very valuable and must also be thoroughly explored along with the NVM so we can really start to tak better control of the radio functions.

Lots to look at... :cool:
[Xoom General] jmc2543:
I am in love with fastboot. I am so use to the days of the OG Droid where the bootloader wasnt locked but you didnt have fastboot as an option. I can see a lot of easier days in the Dev community coming.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Yea having these images is one BIG step...now we just need sdcards ;)
[Xoom General] theMaginator:
Just finished doing this. I'm back at stock. Of course no I'll b the last to get an update. And by the same time tomorrow I'll be unlocking and re-rooting.
[Xoom General] bishop72:
by doing this does it erase everything on your xoom?
[Xoom General] 17akota:
Yes it would. Itll bring it back to what it was like when you first bought it.
[Xoom General] xlGmanlx:
For those that updated, were you able to reroot?
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
I saw multiple threads about Titanium backup not working with the Xoom. Are there alternative apps that will save all my configuration like home screen layout etc? It was a lot of work B-)
[Xoom General] g123k:
It is just Android 3.0

3.0.1 is HRI66
[Xoom General] Aaron636r:
Do I need to do this if I have rooted, just unlocked? Can I just "fastboot oem lock" and be good to go?
[Xoom General] Aaron636r:
Oh no. I did the "fastboot oem lock" and now I get "Failed image LNX 0x0002". Cant boot past Dual Core logo screen.
[Xoom General] Aaron636r:
Ok, re-unlocking it fixed it.
[Xoom General] strifejester:
Ok so we have the original flash so we can get the OTA thats great. And Moto confirmed on their forum they will upgrade devices that have been unlocked and rooted. If they cannot install the software they will ship it back with just the new hardware. Can't wait to see what people can really start doing now.
[Xoom General] strifejester:
For those of you that are like me and hate having to using mega upload and crap to download things here is a direct link on my web server to the file released by Moto.

DMCA Noticed by Moto

This was taken directly from the Moto Dev site myself.

If you browse the directory, which I think I left on for this one... There is also the sbf archive and RSD there to download. If anyone needs a place to store some files let me know. I have unlimited storage and bandwidth. When some of the OG Droid releases came out I was pumping over 11GB a week in downloads with no issues. It's the least I can do to help the community.
[Xoom General] xlGmanlx:
I got to be honest I don't know what the hell i should do to get the update and what will cause me to either have a clean install or lose root
[Xoom General] strifejester:
All reports so far indicate it will not break root and rooted users have been getting the notification. They are also probably doing a controlled rollout if you have not yet gotten the notification. My XOOM is at home right now which sucks I won't be able to get my hands on it for about 6 hours and see what I can all do.
[Xoom General] p-slim:
you leave your house without your xoom :confused:
[Xoom General] strifejester:
Yes the fiance and I share it and we haven't gotten the second one yet. The one downside to having a tech happy significant other. She had the day off and has been playing on it all day. She will probably have all the fun stuff done by the time I get home. I sent her a message on talk asking to not but she gets just as impatient as me sometimes. Worst case she will install the update then I have to confirm the rooting process since its stock right now. I flashed it back the other night.
[Xoom General] p-slim:
It was just a joke :p
[Xoom General] strifejester:
I know but it feels bad trust me I felt like a crack head all day...
[Xoom General] dimitri407:
So if we are already on the new update and use this to flash back to HRI39, will we be able to get back to HRI66? Will we see the update notification again? Or will Moto update the images for us?
[Xoom General] SiL3nTKiLL:
thanks, needed this :)
[Xoom General] Droid-Xer:
Can this be used if we're on the update?
[Xoom General] Droid-Xer:
ooops. double post
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Don't see why not, but it will take away the update.

Sent from my Xoom
[Xoom General] Droid-Xer:
Thats what I figured. I suppose jrummys's app will allow the update again. Just checking. Fixed my problem though without it.

[Xoom General] lordao:
everytime i do this once it reboots i get failed to boot LNX 0x0004, only way to get it back is too re unlock it again.

I always have an error processing command the first time i do system.img but 2nd time it seems to work(though I am thinking it is not working).

Any ideas.

Lordao

P.S Seems that with system.img I get Failed to process command error (0x120003) all the others work first time but can never relock it could this be a windows 7x64 issue? Going to try it on my Daughters netbook. She is giving me the evil eye now.. :D

P.P.S Yep looks like 64bit is the culprit everything went smooth on 32bit version
[Xoom General] jmc2543:
Thats odd, I run x64 Win 7 and had no problems flashing the system.img or any other file. Might of just been a bug in win 7 x64 that decided to pick on you.
[Xoom General] ericdabbs:
OP, can you update the title of this thread to say Verizon version only?

I know you have a note at the top of this thread to say its only for verizon version only but I still like to see the "verizon version" in the titles so I don't even have to click on the thread.
[Xoom General] jmc2543:
Fixed. Not a bad request as eventually im sure sprint will get the xoom.

[Xoom General] jawonder:
Don't know what i'm doing wrong but it's telling me that fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable programne or batch file. The Xoom is on the red moto logo screen which says :- Starting Fastboot Protocol Support . Help please .
[Xoom General] jmc2543:
You need to go into the android sdk folder, hold shift, click on the tools folder, and select start command prompt here. The .img files need to be extracted to that folder. That will fix your issue. Or add the android sdk/tools folder to the path like you did for the adb command.

If I'm rooted and on 3.1 can this get me back to stock? Out of box stock.
[Xoom General] jmc2543:
Yea. Just flash all of these from the bootloader with instructions and it will reset back to out if box software. One thing to remember though is you will have to do a wipe from settings-privacy section to remove activation.
[G Tablet General] August23rd:
Looks like our friends over in Italy will soon be flooding the site looking to replace the stock ui, and roms.

Thanks for that. Nice outlook on the galaxy 10.1 there. With regards to your mentioned 22nd march, is that the date of UK release?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] StuMcBill:
22nd of March is when Samsung are having an event in Florida. It is widely thought that they will announce the 8.9" Tablet.

It is not known when either tablet will be released. Should be soon though.

Sent from my Amiga 500 using Workbench
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] HAJ32:
Ok thanks. Basically I'm UK based and am desperate to get a tablet. For me its down to the xoom or the Samsung 10.1. I am already able to pre order the xoom for £500 but I am unsure on what to purchase. If the Samsung is much more it may come down to price, but at the moment they are pretty much neck and neck. The only thing I see putting the xoom in front is the SD card slot that should come into use in a near future update.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mias1:
There is another advantage not mentioned that is huge for me personnally....

The 10.1 is so much lighter and slimmer than any other available or coming honeycomb tablet.

It's 130g lighter than the Xoom. It has had to sacrifice extra ports to do it, but weight for a portable device is an essential selling point.

I am sure though that connectivity issues will come via an additional port such as HDMI connectivity which is fine for many who actually rarely use Hdmi.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Fisken:
the only minus i can see in the product it the lack of microsd slot, det hdmi and usb part i dont care about, this is 2011 and in 2011 i normally use dlna og manage everything over Wifi and 3g, so what do i need to hdmi for? damn i can't wait to this tablet comes out!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Bandage:
Agreed...I could care less about HDMI port. USB connectivity irks me a little, and seeming lack of SD card slot as well. However, 16gb should be just fine as I'll continue to use my phone as my music player as it's more portable. Video storage might be a concern though.

HMDI output for me is not important, as I have an HTPC setup in my living room. Haven't had cable tv in a few years, using various streaming services for entertainment.
