Secret Agent posted:May not be relevant here but when I used fastboot to flash an hboot image, it looked for the file on the computer, in the same folder as fastboot - not on the SD card. I'm not sure if adb is the same. adb itself does, but you're running an adb shell command - that means running a command on the phone itself.

utonium posted:What if you just run the command "adb remount" ? That's all I ever do with my Hero and it gives me access to whatever I need. And then try pushing that file again. adb remount requires you to have an insecure boot image. If you're initially rooting, it's probably not available.

THESE SOCKS? posted:I just got a LG Optimus S and rooted it using the z4root app, but none of the wireless tethering apps are working for me. I don't get any errors, and everything on the phone looks fine, but none of my devices can see the supposedly-created network. Does anyone know what would be causing this? You need to do more than root, you need to install a rom that supports wireless tethering.

So the VZ Navigator from the market doesn't work to replace the original. Market version would install to /data. tzirean posted:Tried that first. Can't get past 2g, because I don't know how to do that. Mounting /system doesn't actually mount any drive I can access on my PC. Remounting /system would be remounting it on the phone. Reading those instructions, they're not very straight forward - you'd need to transfer the stuff from wherever it is to the proper directory via the mv command or the cp command. This would usually go to /system/app I believe, and would be done in command line on the phone.

yamdankee posted:So I rooted a Nexus One and installed ROM Manager. I flashed ClockworkMod Recovery. But when I try to boot into recovery I am just brought to a screen with an exclamation mark triangle and the android guy. I have to do a battery pull to get it to boot normal. Keep flashing the Clockwork Mod, because the first flash didn't take. There were some bugs with this. chippy posted:I wouldn't call it paranoia, the warranty is voided if you root your phone. Yes and no, since tons of people still receive warranty service with rooted phones, and it's never been put to the test in a courtroom over whether end-user software modifications are cause to void the warranty completely, or just for things it could have caused.

I tried reading some forumsy stuff about it but there's lots of unix talk that makes me completely glaze over. Is there some easy trick to getting wifi tether to work? Install CatLog or aLogCat. Attempt the WiFi tether again. Go back to aLogCat/CatLog and save the logs to a file. Check them and see if there's any big ERRORs. If not, try to search for any logs that look like they relate to wifi tether or wireless tether.

Neurophonic posted:The fact the weekly updates actually add full new features or three and don't introduce many new bugs is incredible, I've been using it for well over a month and haven't missed CM6 much at all. I'm using the The Bundle, which is just the basic stuff. I'm even sticking with the stock Launcher 2, since it's actually kinda nice once you get used to it. The new settings is a shameless iPhone ripoff, but it works as well as the other one did so who cares. The whole UI is very nice. I really want to see Google hire the MIUI guys and Team Douche and just hand Android development to them. Between the two of them, they could do some intensely cool poo poo. flyboi posted:MIUI + AOSP icon set makes it more than tolerable. I absolutely hate the stock MIUI icons but I love all the customizations that come with each week. It would be cooler if they would do like 2 week updates or something because the weekly flashing to see what awesome new crap is in is cumbersome. Plus I am helping with the MIUI-dev team with translation and theming which gets tiresome. I'm fine with iPhone icons, so it doesn't bug me. Weekly flashing isn't too bad if you have ROM Manager, but you're right, I really wish someone would put something up on ROM Manager for this. LastInLine posted:It's not there. If it wasn't there, installing BusyBox wouldn't add it, it would just probably make it able to back it up. Mogomra posted:It's gotten way way better. Specifically in the past two or three updates it's gotten very polished. New updates every Friday, and a pretty solid team working on English translations at http://forums.miui-dev.com/ Yeah, there were a few bugs last time I used it, which I'm not seeing this time. It's still definitely Android, which is great, but things like the Lockscreen, MusicPlayer and notification tray are so much nicer that it blows my mind.

Oh god oh jesus christ, oh It's a boot loop. No big deal. Boot into recovery to fix. Did you wipe data and cache? If not, do that, then re-flash the rom in Recovery. If so, do it again, reflash the rom. If it doesn't work, or if you want to go back, just restore the backup from Recovery.

Oh god my phone is hosed help me. First, take a deep breath - it's incredibly difficult to brick an Android phone. Is your phone in a bootloop? Does everything force close everytime your phone starts? You can fix all of this very easily. Boot into Recovery. How to do this varies by phone - for instance, on the N1 you hold down the trackball and turn the device on, then select Recovery from the Bootloader option. Google around to find out how to do it for your phone - it'll be quicker than asking here and waiting for a response. Once you're in recovery, you have a few options. First is a no-wipe flash. This means basically flashing the rom you're currently using again - this will fix any gently caress ups to the /system files or default poo poo. This is a great first step, since it's non-destructive - you won't lose any data. The zip should be on the root of your SD if you installed it manually, or in the clockworkmod downloads folder if you used rom manager. If this doesn't work, Wipe and Flash. Choose the Wipe data and Wipe cache options. You might also wanna wipe android_secure and anything els that's an option. Then, flash your rom. This is basically a factory restore of your rom - it'll take you back to a brand new phone. This will NOT wipe your sd card generally, so you won't lose pictures or music or anything, but it's always good to have a backup just in case. Then, flash your rom as above. There's also Nandroid Restore. Everytime you mess with your rom, take a backup. Applying a theme? take a backup. Flashing a new rom, take a backup. Modifying a single file? You should probably take a backup. It takes a few minutes and very little space, and it saves you a ton of time. DO IT. Choose the restore option. Note that Clockwork mod has the option of restoring specific parts of a backup - generally, you'll want to chose the Restore All option, but there might be a reason for restoring only one. There's no need to wipe or flash anything here, since it will be overwritten. Recovery will also let you mount your phone to your PC - this is usually called USB-MS or some variation. Using this option lets you copy backups to/from your PC, as well as put new rom zips on your phone. Very useful. Generally, Recovery will let you fix any issue with your rom itself. Bootloops, bad apps, permissions gone nuts, whatever. It'll fix you right up. If, for some reason, you can't get into recovery, you're a bit more limited. Depending on the phone, you might be in trouble. Boot into fastboot/hboot/bootloader. Again, google how to do this. N1 is hold trackball and power on. The bootloader is a very small, low level system that allows you to flash images of various types. This will require a PC with a working usb/adb driver, so make sure you have that set up. You can then use the fastboot application on your computer to flash a new recovery image. Note that this is only going to work with an unlocked bootloader. The Nexus One has one, and believe most HTCs have an option to do this when rooting - it might be called S-OFF or similar. This will let you re-flash your custom recovery. If your phone is NOT S-OFF/unlocked bootloader, you might still be able to return it to stock. To do this, find a thread on XDA/similar for your phone devoted to a return to stock. You'll need to find a 100% stock Recovery image and a 100% stock rom image. Follow the directions from the thread you found the images in to restore yourself to a factory recovery, and then use that to flash a factory update.zip. This will unroot your phone, so keep that in mind. S-OFF is, aside from being a major convenience, a safety net. It's the only thing that you generally can't undo if you're planning to get warranty service but it will allow you to fix almost any software issue. HTC has been good about honoring warranties for hardware defects even on S-OFF phones, but it's not guaranteed.

Go into settings before you wipe. Uncheck the "Backup" option. Give it a few minutes to be sure it syncs to server. Done. I've done this myself and confirm it works.

On the other hand, for $50 more, I could (theoretically) buy an Archos 101, or an Archos 70 for $30 more, and get a better processor and capacitive touchscreen. I'm waiting for Archos to get some stock, which is the only flaw in this plan.
