in the process of creating a new ROM for android.. for that I need ubunt running on my PC.. got virtual box to run it at the same time as Windows.. just up an update.zip on my Memory Stick, but can't get the ubunt to see it so that I could copy it!
Any Ideas.. sorry but I can not download the file as my Internet limit is running this month and got like 15 days to go
Thank you for Your time.
Have you enabled USB support in Virtual PC? It wont be on by default.
Or you could map the root of your memory stick as a shared folder (or even simpler, create a shared folder on your hard drive and place you files in there).

Thank you for the very quick reply, however, the USB support is enable in the Virtual PC.. Created a Shared folder, on C drive, linked it to the Shared Folders in Virtual PC but can not find it.. been googling for the bast 30 mins and got nowhere.. whereever I google 'how to map the root of a memory stick' I get answers about what the root is, not how to map it!
please any pointers will be much appreciated!
Thanbk you for Your time.

Have a look in the location where volumes are mounted in nautilus, /media or /mnt I think, haven't used Ubuntu in forever.
To be honest you'd probably be better off using something like Virtualbox (free) or VM Ware...

I misread your first post, sorry. Did you have a look at this? Basically you have to create the mount point. I did notice then when you create the shared folder it asks you if you want to auto-mount it, which I can only assume means the same thing, so make sure that box is checked.

I did try virtualbox, but it wouldn't boot my VMs from VM Ware, probably due to VMW Tools (it accepted the image, hung on boot), so I couldn't test that out

That doesn't matter, as long as your host OS supports the filesystem in use then so will the guest. For example I can modify files on my HFS drive from Ubuntu even though Ubuntu only supports reading of HFS drives OOTB.

ok, done everything you said so far.. however, in the shared folder options, I have no option to tick Auto-mount.
Also, when I try to type the 'sudo....' into the terminal,, it always comes up with 'Could not find your command' or something like that..
Thank you for Your help!

I didn't realise this before but guest additions is a prerequisite for using shared folders (figures, really) so make they're installed.
Second, check that your virtualbox is up to date, I know mine is because I downloaded it yesterday, perhaps the auto-mount option is a new feature.
If not you'll have to do it manually, there are loads of guides around which provide the commands to create the mount point.

This is a pretty easy process. I went in to Root Explorer - dbdata - databases - com.android.providers.settings, copied settings.db to my sd card, edited it on my pc with a db editor changed 0 to a 1 next to non market apps. Copied it back to the original directory, rebooted and installed a non market app.
Please use caution. If you want to make sure the db save properly open it on your sd card before you copy and replace the original. It should open up as a readable table. If it opens up in a txt editor its corrupt. This permanently enables non market apps. You can not toggle it on and off.
I will try and post pictures soon.
**If this has helped you please consider a donation.**

Does it mean th after this you are able to install any 3rd party application with no restrictions?
Thanks
You can actually do it through firefox too. There's a firefox addon called 'SQLite manager' that you can use to edit the file, if you don't want to download a separate program.
Root Explorer is the pay program on the market? Any free alternitives?
Are you just trying to install non-market apps on the Captivate? If so, then just download the usb driver for the Captivate and then Droid Explorer (may also need SDK installed; not sure). With Droid Explorer, you can easily load non-market apps within seconds. Good solution for a non tech guy like me.
Being brand spanking new to Android, still have question. I like very specific instructions.
Do you download files to whatever directory you want to make and put the files in? Then is there an option to select, and do install? My background is WinMO, so on that you can just use a file explorer and double click or tap, and it installs.

So if I installed "PDAnet" for tethering it will work after rooting?
Thanks for the answer
PDA Net will work without rooting. Just put your phone on airplane mode and enable wifi. Go to the market and download it. Once it is downloaded you can turn off airplane mode and you're good to go.

So... Thank you so much for this info. I downloaded your file and put it into the correct DIR and have non market apps installing with no problem. However I can not get Titanium backup to work correctly. =/ When I try to restore an app it says installing and I have to force close titanium to get it to stop. Probably about half the apps I try and do this for install the other backups do not. Is any one else having any issues like this or know how to fix it?

connect to the settings.db file, on the left side click Tables, and then click Secure. It will show a grid on the right with _id, name, value etc. Click the Data tab, in the search box type market. And there should be only one value that shows up as "install_nonmarket_apps". Set the value to one. Refersh it and then copy it back to your phone.

How the heck do you do this? I have Droid Explorer installed but not BusyBox. I have Windows 7 and can't figure out how to get BusyBox on my phone. I have rooted the phone but that's about it. in Droid Explorer when I connect to my phone it shows nothing!
With this application you can:
download and edit latest nbh
download latest zImage and configure your default.txt

Couldn't have been better timing. Glad to see you're takin over as you have a MUCH better idea of what you're doing. I still have a few more days with my kaiser so I'll try to help with anything while I can.
I know it's a lot easier to just use python, but it seems that everybody likes the .exe version of the nbh editor so here's an exe version of atools.
EDIT: Removed. Not updating exe anymore.
anyway you could build in the ability to flash the kernel too like the RUU does im on a Mac and having to flash via a PC kind of stinks
Vibrate while boot and shutdown
I hope there's an option to eliminate the vibrate while boot and shutdown too.
Thanks for this tools, very helpfull...
Looks awesome. Good work. Appreciate the inclusion of zImages and editing. Should be useful.

The problem is that there isn't a cross platform tool and i don't know if it is possible to write it in python.
Python is cross platform and it's way i use it for these tools.

For Alter System and Data Partition, how big the /system will be expand after install ? Can I assume, it would be the same for every builds ?
Or it won't expand at all after install, so I can determine the size just by looking the 'system' folder size ( unpack the .tar ) ?
Thanks.
It depends on distro, so expand the tar file an left some space.

Long time forum fan, first post! I'm a little scared from that registration video, but here we go: After rooting my phone, I did a complete backup with Titanium Backup before deleting all kinds of Verizon and Motorola bloat. Now my Droid 3 is experiencing the hardware keyboard repeating space thing described in many other threads. One of the solutions I read about was to try the new OTA update, but I also read that this requires all the bloatware to be back where it was when I got the phone. So, I went in to Titanium Backup and managed to restore a few of the files, but most of the time, when I try to restore a file, I get the little spiny animation forever. I've tried a couple different Busybox versions, direct access and indirect access. Nothing seems to help. In the future I plan to explore other backup solutions, but for now, I'm stuck with all these backups I can't restore. So, now I guess I need to know a way to manually restore the backed up files. Any ideas?
Try Pete's Root Tools and there is a restore system app option
So that app will use the titanium backups? Happen to have a link for that app?
Its not an app, you connect your D3 to the computer and run the batch script. I cant post links cuz I'm on my phone but i believe Pete posted it in a thread called "unroot" i'll edit my post if i can find it.

Edit- I get a message saying the files must be saved in a /restore/ folder but I can't figure out why my windows XP (32 bit) wont let me use a "/" to create a file??

/ indicates file path. You dont need to type it into the file name. Just place the restore folder inside of the main folder, and extract all the apk's to it.

The directory you run the tool from to restore the system apps should look like this:
Also, if you are on XP, make sure you are using the file for XP (found here: http://www.psouza4.com/droid3/) and not the one for Vista/7 that I linked to in my original post.
Thanks for the reply.
The Win 7/Vista version installed and launches on my XP machine and gives me the restore option pictured in your post.
The XP version you linked me to does not include the restore function (as far as I can tell).
Can I try using the 7/Vista file or will it bork my phone.
Also, will this wipe my phone?

You can't access /data partition without root or custom recovery.
@XDHx86
You can access the partition with selected file managers, e, g, Total Commander.

From the the site homepage it says it only supports accessing /data partition from android 11, so i think it shoul only work on android 11 as i said.
Have you tried this? It doesn't need root.
sounds like Total Commander have decided to copy LCG's X-plore with the two panel windows.
all decent file browsers have been able to access storage/0/emulated/Android/data the whole time and micro SD equivalent too.
it's only with android 11 that google's new security layer has removed that access for SDcards. their new security has also made the file system 6 times slower in copying or moving files etc. hopefully OEMs will pressure google to fix it.

I believe you misunderstood the topic of the thread. We're discussing the possibility of accessing /data partition without root permission on android 11, even with scoped storage security feature. You can read about it the the link in the 3rd post above.
I never heard about google forbidding access to sdcard from apps, can you elaborate?

I think I understood OK, changes to the file system include no longer accessing Android/Data. that's not the data partition as far as I'm concerned, it's still accessible from internal storage but not from external.
Hi, yesterday when I was trying to back up some of my photos, which I usually cut it from internal device to PC, during the process there was a time all the folders became "empty folders" when I looked on PC screen, I thought maybe just a preview problem that needs time to load, so I directly cut some of those "empty folders" into PC, while it takes less than 1 second, but actually it contains thousands of photos. I checked the folders on PC that are empty contains nothing, but the folders were cutted out of its original place, I couldn't see them in DCIM. When I'm checking my album on my phone screen, I can still see those folders, but the cover photo becomes unavailable, and soon it disappears from my sight.
I believe those photos are still there, they were not cut out, I think maybe just the directory or index is lost, which make them unseeable. I have tried so many different recovery software to look for those photos like DiskDigger, but still couldn't find them, any suggestions on it, what should I do, is root the final solution for it?
Thanks!
The last view of a disappearing folder looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"

Meh, copy not cut/paste to backup critical files.
If you need to delete the original do so after it's been successfully copied. Otherwise this will occasionally happen.
The files are there, but retrieving them may not be a doable option.

Yeah you're right, I didn't expect that, usually I just make duplicates after they are moved to PC, I think I won't use cut function so careleslly anymore, copy paste would be much better.
Do you think some software offer "Deep Scan" option that only functions with rooted devices would work?

Been there, done that.
Are you rooted? You have more options if so otherwise it's irrelevant.

No, not yet, that's why I'm here looking for answers, if it's possible I will try to root it and see.
I have also heard something like mirror the disk to PC, and then use EasyRecovery or other tools to recover on PC side, would that be possible too?

Don't know. It's not like a stand alone flash card.
I avoid getting into this situation by keeping redundant backup hdds.
Hello crosscar, try with recuva for pc you remove the sd card you put it in a flash drive.
You open recuva will ask you what you want to do then choose the sdcard put in the flash drive launch the search.
