Thanks guys!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lion766:
Is it normal when copying/pasting, SD from Desktop to MT4G, that .data, and .img for backups cannot be transferred?

I cannot seem to transfer those two data types into my new SD. All I am copying is old Restores, that I know worked good, but that type of data won't seem to go over
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lion766:
Anyone have this happen? Is it normal? I am worried I don't have recoveries that will work
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lion766:
Confirmed, recoveries do not work, I get MD5 mismatch. How can I copy these back?

I did what was said as copying old SD files to Desktop, but on paste to new SD card, would not transfer some files.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lakeshow423:
I did this a couple of times ans had no problems you had with those two files. I suggest you reformat the card put the files in there again and upload a new rom. Flash clockwork recovery 3.0.0.6 then try to restore one of those nandroids.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lion766:
Thanks for checking Lake, I will definitely try that! I hate the fact that I like so many ROMS that I switch back and forth every week. It's like a new phone every week! Minus the creaky buttons, ha!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lion766:
uh oh, formatted card, now none of my backups will copy the .img or .data files. Oh geez

edit: quick format and format make a difference?

I did a quick, trying normal format now

This is a super simple method taken from Arcadia 310 on another thread.

This is assuming you have The Android SDK already installed and updated.

Download these files XoomRoot.zip HERE

and FASTBOOT for MAC - HERE

Unzip both archives into your ~/sdk/platform-tools folder.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU SCREWING UP YOUR DEVICE, THIS IS VOIDING YOUR WARRANTY ANYWAYS. HIT ME UP ON TWITTER OR HERE IF YOU NEED HELP OR HAVE QUESTION. ON TO DIRECTIONS.

Follow these steps: (After you have unzipped into your folder)

1. Follow the pre requisites above.

2. Open a terminal (located in the utilities folder)

3. Navigate to your sdk/platform-tools folder

Example: "cd /home/b16/Desktop/sdk/platform-tools" (no quotes)

4. Type "./adb devices" and make sure your Xoom shows up on the list.

This command will show you if your device is connected to the Android Debug Bridge.

5. Now type in "./adb reboot bootloader" (You can skip the next 3 steps if you’ve unlocked with fastboot previously)

This will reboot your device into bootloader mode accepting fastboot commands.

6. I had to type "chmod 755 fastboot" first to get it to execute.

This will change the permissions of the FASTBOOT BINARY so it can execute.

7. Now type in "./fastboot oem unlock" and choose to unlock it. (wait for reboot)

This will make your device "Hackable" and will VOID your warranty, you can re-lock it later if you like using another guide on this forum. Located HERE.

8. Once it has rebooted type "adb reboot bootloader" and hit enter.

Now you are going back into bootloader mode to finish the job.

9. Once in bootloader mode type "./fastboot flash boot rootboot.img"

This is going to flash the boot image needed to have root working properly within the system.

10. Type "./fastboot reboot" (wait for reboot)

command wil now boot you back into Android.

11. Type "./adb remount"

We are now mounting the system partition in order to push the Super User binary.

12. Type "./adb push su /system/bin"

Does what it says. Pushes binary to system folder.

13. Type "./adb shell" You should now see a "#" sign.

This will put you into a root shell to change the permissions of files in the next step.

14. Type "chmod 4755 /system/bin/su"

You just changed the permissions of the super user binary to run properly.

15. Type "exit".

You will now be back in your home terminal ready to push the Super User Apk.

16. Type "./adb push Superuser.apk /system/app"

You should now have root acces! Enjoy!
[Xoom Android Development] wheeeler:
Thanks for posting this. Another thing I did, because I use ADB quite frequently, was add the SDK tools to my path. For those that need help, it looks something like this:

Open Terminal and type echo 'export PATH=~/Downloads/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools:$PATH' >> ~/.profile

This only works if your SDK folder is in your Downloads folder inside your Home folder.

The next time you open a Terminal window, you can simply type adb remount or whatever you need without having to add the ./

Another bonus is this makes it much easier to keep kernels, ROMs, and modules out of your SDK tools folder, where they do not belong.
[Xoom Android Development] ChongoDroid:
First off thanks for doing this... I figured out my n1 and I can do this too... I'm stuck at the chmod 775 line... I enter that command and its like I didn't enter it... after I proceed to fast boot OEM unlock it tells me that it can't be executed .. what am I doing wrong... God I hate being noobed out... I'm so close!!!

EDIT: got past that with the help of using fastboot-mac from htc's website... but now I'm stuck on getting the rootboot.img over

Morgan-Brants-Mac-mini:platform-tools Chongo$ ./fastboot-mac flash boot rootboot.img

sending 'boot' (2902 KB)... OKAY

writing 'boot'... FAILED (remote: (0000000f))

Morgan-Brants-Mac-mini:platform-tools Chongo$

EDIT2: Well it was due to my xoom being almost dead (not enough juice to flash)

on the other hand this was a refresher course and I now understand ADB a whole lot more... thank you for this educational piece :D I am now a tiger blood enfused SUPER USER :D
[Xoom Android Development] b16a2smith:
I am glad I could help, I have this tutorial on my website along with many other devices, http://rootzwiki.com if there is any other devices you would like to see :)

[Xoom Android Development] DebianDog:
Well the default shell in a mac is bash so wouldn't be:

echo "export PATH=$HOME/bin/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools:$HOME/bin/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools:$PATH" > .bash_profile

This is a video walkthru of rooting that happens to be on a Mac but the process is the same for Windows:

[Xoom Android Development] chevyman46933:
im not sure if it is just me or not, but i get stuck at step 5 for some reason?

i type ./adb reboot bootloader it shuts down then turns on and i get stuck at "starting fastboot protocal support" it sits forever then i have to hold volume up and power to reboot and its fine, but cant ever get past that.

it no longer shows as attached device at that point either
[Xoom Android Development] nemith:
Magenta you say.
[Xoom Android Development] chevyman46933:
can anyone help me?
[Xoom Android Development] chevyman46933:
still stuck at same step, after ./adb reboot fastboot i cant go any farther, the xoom just isnt connected to recieve and additional commands, heres a copy n paste from my terminal...

any help/suggestions?
[Xoom Android Development] wheeeler:
Are you using the Mac fastboot binary? I'm not by my computer right now, but I believe the Mac version is called fastboot-mac by default. Download it, make sure it's executable (chmod 755 fastboot-mac), then try fastboot-mac oem unlock. After you run adb reboot bootloader, you will lose your ADB connection, and your Xoom won't display anything but the boot logo and something about starting fastboot. This is your cue to unlock. Hope this helps.
[Xoom Android Development] chevyman46933:
that was exactly it, i was using the fastboot from another post, got the fastboot-mac from the website adn it works perfect!! thanks!!!

xoom unlocked, finally
[Xoom Android Development] goon55:
thats why I amended the steps :)

1. Follow the pre requisites above.

* I also had to download the fastboot-mac file from the HTC site- http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
[Xoom Android Development] chevyman46933:
For some respason I didnt realize the difference between the two fastboots until he mentioned that and thankfully your ad was right above with the link to htc thanks to you guys im now have rooted and unlocked and overclocked my xoom and its incredible now! Thanks for the patience with me
[Xoom Android Development] sleeplessninja:
I did a video that was done on my MAC in the MAC OS. If anyone wants a more visual way to see how this is performed. I follow all these steps exactly. I show how I set my environment PATH, and this actually is what tripped me up, because my user profile wasn't looking at the PATHs I originally setup, but all that is required is entering

echo 'export PATH=xyz:$PATH' >> ~/.bash_profile (this whole line )

Where 'xyz' is your path to the android-sdk/platform-tools/ from the root of your Hard Drive, for most Macs it should be ' /Users/[Ur User Name]/android-sdk/platform-tools '

[Xoom Android Development] gerbick:
I'm getting the following error:

./fastboot-mac flash boot rootboot.img

sending 'boot' (2902 KB)... ERROR: usb_write failed with status e00002ed

FAILED (data transfer failure (No such file or directory))

fastboot-mac is chmod 755, rootboot.img is there, alongside it, I'm in as root and it's still failing for me.

Edit: Nevermind. Right after pulling the reboot before the rootboot.img - or boot.img for wifi users - immediately go into the aforesaid command and it should work just fine.

Took me a couple of times.

Can you unroot on mac?

[Xoom Android Development] wase4711:
how do you root, and flash the latest tiamat kernel, that enables sd card2 on a mac?

I assume to have to put certain files in your android/platforms/tools directory on your mac..

thank you!
[Xoom Android Development] qubz:
Just follow the steps on the Tiamat thread. Make sure you have fastboot-mac in the platform-tools folder of your SDK path.

I usually drag drop the boot.img.and system.img into that folder, open a term and run the commands. You can drag drop the items in the system folder tothe term to save typing out the full path. Works fine.
[Xoom Android Development] wase4711:
There are several Tiamat threads; which one would you recommend I get the Kernel from?

great thanks for this.

would definitely get it rooted when i m free..
[Xoom Android Development] gerbick:
Not too sure if it's been said anytime recently, but make sure you get the fastboot-mac file from HTC - here you go and do not use the fastboot command as-is, use fastboot-mac instead, which should be within your platform-tools folder.

Good luck. I got stuck on that for a while, it's stated earlier in the thread. Just repeating things...
[Xoom Android Development] wase4711:
thank you very much!

I have seen and get many question from users having trouble with rooting mainly due to their inexperience in Command Prompt and Terminal. I try to give a mini tutorial on how it works and how to set up PATH on your Mac.

[Xoom Android Development] DebianDog:
Ninja you have a Mac for pets sake get ScreenFlow or something LOL

also on a Mac and Windows you can drag and drop files to the screen

i.e type cd <space> then drag and drop in the newly downloaded folder and it will type in the full directory path for you if you drag the file it will type the full path to the file

Did you try holding the volume up and power button untill reboot?
[Xoom Android Development] ffttgghh:
Can someone point me to the boot.img file for a wifi xoom? I used rootboot.img, and I'm stuck at the logo screen. Back in fastboot mode while I look for it, but so far haven't found it in any of the threads....

[Thunderbolt General] bkiminfinity:
yup, good news for all. the only thing that i and some others are wondering is how long unlimited 4G/LTE plans will be available and if verizon will someday alter existing plans to avoid grandfathered data plans.
[Thunderbolt General] mexiken:
This was confirmed yesterday....
[Thunderbolt General] detox246:
Sweet!

Sent from my Droid
[Thunderbolt General] johnchad14:
I was kinda underwhelmed by the incremental upgrade of this phone (though everything of course looks good about it...) but seeing the unlimited 4G without a price hike makes me seriously itch to see about jumping on this while it's still unlimited.

What do you figure the odds of being able to retain that unlimited data plan for your next phone after the tbolt are? For forever we kept an old verizon plan that was far cheaper and had unlimited data...until they coerced us to "upgrade" to use any new phones
[Thunderbolt General] ApplCobbler:
I'm on At&T right now and I've been considering buying a contract for Verizon while the 4g unlimited plans are still available. I have a grandfathered unlimited plan right now and it includes 4g service (for my Atrix), but they haven't activated the HPSA+ in my area and it seems like they never will.

Does Verizon have a history of altering contracts whenever they feel like it or is it like what I have with AT&T where I can keep the contract, grandfathered, for as long as I don't alter it?

I would just hold out for the Bionic to come out, but it seems like that could be a few months and I don't want to miss out on the plan if it goes away...
[Thunderbolt General] popular nobody:
Grandfathered plan is grandfathered plan. Droid Bionic is supposed to arrive this quarter, so hop on board now.
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
^ THIS. When I heard about that this morning when I called VZW and tried to get them to give me the Wirefly price for the phone, I almost just said yes anyway. Living in Jersey City, right outside of NYC, i'm almost guaranteed that I will get 4g coverage. Now I just have to decide if I want to let go of my Incredible, it's so hard...
[Thunderbolt General] andydumi:
Did they match the price? I am thinking of doing the same to add two new lines to a plan. I might walk into a store and see if they will match wirefly or their own online 199 and waive activation. Effectively same as Wirefly in the end. Except for tax.
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
No they didn't match it, so I just bought it at their 2 year price. I didn't really try that hard cause it didn't matter that much to me :p. I'm sure with a little pressure you can get them to match it. I didn't have activation fees either.

Some guy was there actually getting 4 Thunderbolt's. 1 was an upgrade, 3 were for the family plan he was getting. They were working with him to make the total as cheap as possible for him. So like I said, with a little conversation, i'm sure you can get them to help you out in some way.
[Thunderbolt General] bkiminfinity:
interesting.....as seen in other threads here there are certain discounts online if you have an employee discount (e.g. my employer's verizon store portal shows $229/1 year and $199/2 year contract). i was going to go to a verizon store today to see the thunderbolt in person before purchasing, maybe i can get them to give me the online prices available to me. i'll head there after work and let you all know if i have any success in getting cheaper online prices in-store.
[Thunderbolt General] andydumi:
Yea, our company is one of the ones that offers 199/229 for 2/1 year contracts. So I can pick it up online for 229 for 1 year but tax and 35 activation put me way above Amazon or Wirefly+Fatwallet.

On the upside, if I do 1 year I can probably upgrade and sell the TB and recoup a large chunk of the difference if I need to.
[Thunderbolt General] jamesfrom818:
HTC wasn't kidding when they said this isn't the phone you want, its the one after that.

I am more than happy with my G2 because I love having a hardware keyboard, but the unlimited LTE data plan is the reason I am leaving. I'm probably going to buy a multi-core phone well before my 2 year contract is up.
[Thunderbolt General] HorsexD:
Just Bought ThunderBolt online and after Company Discount and Upgrade priceing I got it for 199.99 plus tax. Payed 250 ish Straight up. Im a Added line so I only pay 10$ a month plus 30$ Unlimited 4g Data plus 5$ insureance. My Monthnly bill is now gonna be 45$. *SNORTS* :D:D:D
[Thunderbolt General] bkiminfinity:
bummer....the verizon i went to (and it was a corporate store, not an authorized retailer) said for whatever reason they don't match online corporate discounts. i'm heading back north to where i live tomorrow so i'll check out stores there, otherwise i'll have to get it online and wait for delivery.......blah.

i guess other people have nice verizon reps nearby who are either more accommodating or more eager to make sales.
[Thunderbolt General] HorsexD:
free online 2 day shipping. pretty fast.
[Thunderbolt General] rednoved:
Mine was $199 in store, but only because of my NE2 $50 discount.
[Thunderbolt General] mi7chy:
Took advantage of work discount. -$50 off of price of phone but tax rapage on list price ate that and some. 22% off 450 min voice plan (no text since I use Google Voice). Activation waved. I'll be happy if I can get Verizon to add 450 bonus mins per month to match my Sprint plan.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ayerman3:
I was searching for about an our to see if i wanted to flash Apex on my Droid 2, because i think that the transitions on that rom are amazing, but i look in the fission rom manager( or FRM) and see a Gingerbread theme option that applies the same transitions.

I don't know if I'm missing something but really is there a difference between them?

know that my fission rom has all the same transitions is there any other reason i should flash Apex?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] Quacker:
I think you meant to click a different sub-forum. :)

Anyway, those aren't ApeX transitions; they were just pulled from Gingerbread.

ApeX uses a combination of Blur and AOSP apps, while Fission is about as Blur-less as you can get. There are other features, but it just comes down to personal preference since both ROMs are quite stable.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ayerman3:
I don't know if im going crazy but i have used the nexus s with stock gingerbread and it doesn't have all those animations and fly in transitions( probably the animations options was checked off...not sure)
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Well..... there are a lot of supe easy ways to use different animations from different roms... so like Quacker said it is all just personal preference.

Ex:

I could just pull the transitions from apex, make it into a zip, and then flash it through recovery and I would have all of the transitions.

My whole purpose not have to lock the phone with a draw pattern or password so people can use the phone for gaming or browsing, but still protect my emails from being read. Any ideas?

Why do you want to use POP mail when WP7 already supports IMAP for Yahoo mail? BTW, Yahoo already fixed their IMAP server so data usage should not be a problem anymore.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Hmm....I'm not sure. I haven't had any issues with my Yahoo setup the 3 times I've done it. Try removing the account, restarting your phone, and going through the setup again. If that doesn't work, when you go to add an account, go to "add other" and try it that way. Other than that, I'm not sure why it isn't working.
[Windows Phone 7 General] christianboy_83:
I found the problem! After calling AT&T, Yahoo, & LG,:mad: I found the problem! I had a space in my password. I changed my password online and put the new password on the phone and it worked! So take note of this:

NO SPECIAL CHARACTERS IN PASSWORD WHEN SETTING UP YAHOO ACCOUND ON WP7:rolleyes:
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
what is the advantage of a paid yahoo acct? Didn't know they even still did paid email accts.

Interesting. Very suprised yahoo would let you use a space in your password, most won't.

Glad you got it figured out.
