Using root explorer - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Where do I find my modem in all the files rootexplorer gives acces to? I know I can just look at the baseband in about phone, but I would like to verify for myself.

The kernel and modem are firmware that interface the hardware to the OS, not files. It's kind of like the BIOS on a PC.

this. they arent 'files' in the traditional sense once they are on your phone.

Is there any way to verify, other than looking at about phone?

Flash a new modem and you'll know for sure.

About phone will tell you the info you need. Don't really know why you think you need to verify that.

Flashing a modem won't brick your cappy. Also, every modem works differently on every phone and perfomance depends alot of your location.
Feel free to try them out - Just make sure you know what you're doing
So all that is is a modem

no, he doesn't understand, please ignore him.
the JVB rar should have a PDA, MODEM, and CSC tar.md5 files inside which are to be used with ODIN. you *should* be able to flash it and be fine, but I wouldn't recommend it as there's always a potential for bricking with ODIN. add to that, you should flash the new bootloaders to avoid graphical glitches, they'll affect your button recovery for download mode (which could lead to more potential danger).
basically, anytime you use ODIN will *never* be safe, but you *should* be able to do it.
Wow,a different bootloader? What should I use? Also which files do I flash to get the whole thing? The whole zip or just the zimage? Sorry for the 4 questions at once but I guess there's more to it than I thought lol

Software Update file

Hey
Where is the software update actually stored on the device? (The 8/4/2011 for the LG Revolution).
Once updated, can yo install CWM? Can it be rooted?
Just hang out, it will not install through cwm. Thecubed is going to be working on it.

I actually wanted to tinker with the Software Update file and see whats inside. I wanted to know where Android downloads it to on the filesystem.
I'm sure TheCubed will figure it out with CWM

Yes. I assume you don't have cwm if you updated?

What are you trying to find? You can adb pull whatever file you are wanting to check, then check it against the old file to see what has changed.

It possibly could install by changing it to a zip file but who knows what it would mess up. With recovery items in there it may mess up cwm, that is a little above me without doing more research into it.

He's right. Installing the update without removing some stuff from it first (like it's new boot.img and the "installrecovery.sh" script) would possibly softbrick your device.
Decrap2 will take a while to do since it's gonna take a lot of work to apply this update to my ROM (gotta flash back to stock and apply the OTA, then deodex and then remove bing all over again...)
i didn't have it installed on my phone when I updated the phone

I'm confused- do you have CWM installed? If so, there's no way you could have applied the update yet...

I have two revolution devices.
One was stock (as if I bought it from a VZW store), the other one was with CWM.
The CWM with Decrap on it. (giving lots of issues with the launcher such as missing icons, etc)
Stock is on the latest LG update.
CWM is on the OEM release

The UNROOT
If you wanna unroot your device, why so ever, the easiest way is to use Unlock Root (Link above) open it, connect your phone via USB, enable Debugging Mode and click unroot. If you wanna unroot it, e.g. to be able to send it back to LG on warranty, better use the method below, to unbrick your device with R&D tool.
Because like this, you will get back an unrooted device, which has also been hardresetted. So LG will hardly/never get a clue, that it has ever been rooted.
Dont forget to format your SD card as well

That's from my how to, but I think I should correct this. Use Smartflashtool and flash the latest version available for you. Do a factory reset from within settings menu and everything should be fine

Maybe just to check whether the version of Odin he's looking at (assuming that's the question) can be used with the I9000 (if its one of those online guides from other websites, some of them can be a bit vague). Plus, so many versions of Odin

Re-add ATT splash screen

Might have to send my phone in for warranty replacement and would like to re-add the ATT splash screen to the device?
Best way to do this?
Get someone to extract it or just flash a stock image.

The exact opposite of how you got rid of it.
Place the stuff where its supposed to be with a root explorer app.

No offense, but if you can't download a file off the Internet:
A) you shouldn't be rooting and deleting stuff
B) i'm not going to have the patience to help you.
Sorry, but downloading a zip file from the Internet is really, really basic stuff.
