Those are all 2.x radios. The link I gave you has the 3.x radios. Who knows, maybe the newer ones will solve your problem.

SplitSoul posted:So I've begun rooting my Nexus S i9023 using the NexusHacks video guide, but I'm already stuck on the driver installation part. I do as exactly as it says, but Windows complains that android_winusb.inf doesn't contain information about my hardware. How do I proceed from here? Thinking back though I think it turned out to be the USB cable I was using. Try a different one?

For the most part, GingerBreak doesn't work with GB ROMs. It did work (and was released for) some early third-party GB devices that came out in the Spring, but Google made everyone patch its exploit up, so it doesn't work on subsequent releases. But yes, works just fine in Froyo. Accoding to the "FAQ" z4root works on 2.2, but presumably not 2.2.1 or 2.2.2, for which they recommend GingerBreak. And it sounds like rooting stock GB on that device is rather tough, so I wouldn't try. In the end the particular exploit used doesn't really matter since the goal is all the same, install su/Superuser and, likely, a custom recovery. From my very limited understanding, it seems that installing a custom recovery, then upgrading to GB should be OK as recovery is still available to reinstall su. But I've not seen that explicitly, and probably everyone on xda is just running some custom GB ROM. This much I've gotten from the top-three stickied threads on the P500 General forum, which while still massively verbose (and confusing) do appear to be above-par organization for xda.

In addition, LG's official Gingerbread update for the O1 includes an entirely new baseband, which is required to run almost all of the custom Gingerbread ROMs developed for this phone. Except for the CM7 port.  Elias, as you mentioned before, if being free of ads is the only benefit you'll need from rooting, you don't have to worry about installing recovery or any custom ROMs. Just go ahead and root via Gingerbreak, and you'll also have the option of unrooting it via the same app if you need to avail of the warranty.

I used to manually edit build.prop on the NC to switch back and forth but the app makes it a lot easier. I switch back and forth since I can't navigate SA using the Awful app with lcd density set to 160 due to force closes.

"Not compatible" apps simply never show up for me in the Market. They either don't show up in searches, or I get "this item does not exist" type error if I load their link directly. That is pretty darn rare. I think I saw it with the Netflix app (<1.4). Also, a new build for the Nook Color finally came out today. They jumped from 177 to 197. I use Root Explorer to change my density to 240 after every update. Too much just doesn't work or doesn't look right at 160.

Sooo... rooting stock and flashing the Lucid kernel seems to have killed my wi-fi. It simply says "Error" whenever I try to activate it. I couldn't get BLN Control to work for it, either, said the kernel wasn't compatible. Nice thing to discover after spending hours restoring loving everything manually. dissss posted:Is it sorted now? I tried a million times using both the files in the NexusHacks .zip and the ones from Google. Installed a whole lot of SDK poo poo and it still didn't work. I went digging on Google, and it turns out they forgot to add the PID to the .inf file, so I had to do it manually. Worked flawlessly after that. Well, the driver did, anyway.

I use the Lucid kernel and have had no such problems. You say it's rooted stock (in other words, just unlocked) so you didn't do any loving with the ROM itself. I'm guessing you're sure you got the right kernel? There's one for stock ROMs and one for CM7 (an easy mistake to make). It could be a new version thing too, I'm not in front of the device now but it was put on about three weeks ago.

Anyone had any luck rooting on a mac? I've put my SGS2 into download mode and attempted to root with Heimdall using this guide: http://winterland.no-ip.org/2011/09/root-galaxy-s2-with-heimdall-on-linux/ Unfortunately, Heimdall doesn't seem to recognize that my SGS2 is connected my mac. When the phone is out of download mode, the Samsung Kies software recognizes it just fine, it just seems to be in download mode that it won't see it. Any suggestions? Is there a driver or something that I need? I tried doing it with Odin in a WinXP VM, but wasn't successful that way either.

Hey so I know this is a brand new phone but I picked up the Droid Bonic and rooted it, and I am wondering if there is a safe way to wirelessly (or even non wirelessly - that isnt PDANET) tether my phone using 4g without having verizon get all pissy at me for violating my TOS. I refuse to pay 30 extra dollars a month to pay for something that I can do for free. I have read that they are looking for people who wirelessly tether without the contract to do so, and I just don't want to get caught. If this is for some reason against the rules of the thread, let me know and Ill edit it out.

No its like saying I am already paying for cable on one tv, and they have all of the lines run to the house, I would just have to pay 30 extra dollars to get them to allow me to watch it on a second tv. And besides if I am tethering my phone Its not like I can browse on THE PHONE while I browse on my computer. E://"free" in this case is the fact that I can get [wireless tether for root users] for free.

LastInLine posted:I'm going to have to side with avan here, especially if the data is limited/tiered. If they're going to give you a limited amount of data connectivity, why should they have a say in what traffic gets carried? What if your ISP wanted to charge you an extra $30/m for "non-PC traffic" like Roku boxes or some such? Data is data, no matter the user agent. If he's trying to get around the carrier's limits, he's probably gonna end up getting caught and charged anyway. AT&T seems to have caught on how to monitor this stuff, so I expect other companies can do it as well. I have a close friend who complained to me that AT&T cut off their tethering on a grandfathered unlimited plan - they had been doing over 40 GB of transfer a month on it, even running torrents and online games. Yet somehow they were surprised AT&T noticed this and sent them a bill for tethering.

I now know how Internet data is different when displayed on a small computer screen than it is when displayed on a large computer screen. E: notice how my analogy doesn't speak as to whether the act itself is right or wrong. It implicitly questions whether the additional charge to view the content on a larger screen is reasonable. I'm also not justifying the action, just putting it into a context that I feel more people would be comfortable with if they decided to do it. Feel free to replace 'TV show' with 'music', 'phone' with 'iPod', and 'TV' with 'stereo system' for a medium in which this practice is acceptable.

If they're selling you 2GB/m of mobile data though (and that's what the fine print on the "unlimited" plans say) then I should be able to use all 2GB of data and I should be able to use it however I want. Also ZShakespeare is right, it's exactly like that.

^^ I use barnacle tether from my phone to my tablet during class when the school network is slow. I'm on Sprint though, maybe your service-provider has a way to protect their datas from all root-tethers. Are you on a stock rom? Is there a way to change rewrite restrictions in root? I think I read that you can use adb to edit build.prop, but I would like to be able to modify files on my NC in root explorer, and I am not able to for some reason.

Elias_Maluco posted:Ok, so, in short: I should first root it, and then in later maybe upgrade it to gingerbread? Sorry it took me a while to get back to you on this. Based on what's currently available on XDA, if you want to have both a rooted phone AND Gingerbread, the 'safest' option is to root first, then install a custom ROM that runs on Gingerbread. Rooting then installing the official LG Gingerbread upgrade while rooted is definitely not recommended. There is an option to root after installing the official upgrade (if the upgrade is available for your phone), but it involves some fiddling around with SuperOneClick, and I don't recommend this for any inexperienced users. So as it stands, your options are as follows: 1) Root, stay with the stock ROM (what you currently have running on your phone). 2) Root, install a custom ROM running Gingerbread (let me know if you prefer this option, and I can give you some help - just didn't want to overload you with info you might not need right now). 3) Install official LG Gingerbread upgrade (if available), stay unrooted.

Ugh, this stupid mytouch 3G. It's the kind without the headphone jack. I rooted with S1C, installed CWR with ROM Manager, and flashed a stock froyo ROM from here. The OP of that post said he flashed it on a mytouch with the SAME RADIO and SAME HBOOT as the one I have here, and it still boot loops at the myTouch screen - it doesn't even start to boot android. Before I tried that I formatted the SD card wiped everything. So it's a fresh format, fresh ROM download, fresh wipe of data/cache, and a fresh install of a ROM for this radio and HBOOT and it is still bootlooping like when I tried to flash CM6.1.
