Database Develop

Newbie on a mac, please check my rooting steps...

I'm using some guys guide for mac users:
1. Take a deep breath. It is just software and you are going to master it!
2. Download and install the Mac OSX Android SDK. I am going to assume for the purposes of this list that you have put it in /Applications/android-sdk-mac_86/tools/ but it doesn't matter.
3. Get fastboot-mac from here. Rename it 'fastboot' and put it in /Applications/android-sdk-mac_86/tools/.
4. Get Radio_20100203_2_Signed_PASSION.img,
update-cm-5.0.4.1-N1-signed.zip AND gapps-passion-ERE36B-2-signed.zip
from here and put them in /Applications/android-sdk-mac_86/tools/.
5. Get recovery-RA-nexus-v1.6.2.img from here and put it in /Applications/android-sdk-mac_86/tools/
6. Put Get Radio_20100203_2_Signed_PASSION.img,
update-cm-5.0.4.1-N1-signed.zip and gapps-passion-ERE36B-2-signed.zip
on the root of the SD card. You can do this by mounting the phone via a USB cable (this works just like any USB stick except you have to click a button on the phone's UI).
7. In your phone settings > applications > development, set usb
debugging to enabled.
8. Turn off your phone and put the SD card with the 3 files on it
into your phone.
9. Hook up the USB connection to your phone and your mac.
10. Reboot phone into fastboot: Hold down trackball, push the power
button and hold both until you see the fastboot screen. (The fastboot
screen is the one with the Androids on skateboards)
11. In Terminal on your mac, cd to /Applications/android-sdk_mac_86/tools
12. Type ‘./fastboot devices‘ to make sure your phone is recognized
(it should list a device number rather than simply returning to
command prompt with no feedback).
13. Type ‘./fastboot oem unlock‘ to unlock the bootloader (wohoo, your phone is now rooted!)
14. Use volume keys on the phone to navigate to yes and press the
power button to confirm.
15. When the phone finishes booting, in your phone settings >
applications > development, set usb debugging to enabled, then power
it down.
16. Reboot phone into fastboot: Hold down trackball, push the power
button and hold both until you see the fastboot screen. (The fastboot
screen is the one with the Androids on skateboards)
17. (you're still in terminal in /Applications/android-sdk_mac_86/tools)
Type ‘./fastboot flash recovery ./recovery-RA-nexus-v1.6.2.img‘. (Note
filename will change as recovery image is updated)
18. Type './fastboot flash radio ./Radio_20100203_2_Signed_PASSION.img'
to also update your radio at this point
19. Once the Recovery flash is complete (should be almost instant),
press the Power Button. The highlighted blue text should now say
HBOOT. Use the volume down button to highlight "Recovery" and hit the
power button to reboot into recovery.
20. if this step fails, power down the phone, and try this: hold down
the VOLUME DOWN button and then hold the POWER button until you get to
the skateboard screen; use volume down to highlight RECOVERY and hit
the POWER button
21. You should now be in the Recovery screen after a reboot -- this
screen has 9 green text options at the top and an android x in the
center of the screen
22. Once in Recovery Mode, use the trackball to scroll down to
"Backup/Restore" and press the trackball three times, and wait until
the backup is complete.
23. Once backup is complete, wipe, since you're coming from stock
(even fastboot oem unlock may not fully wipe, do it just in case) many
users report the phone not booting properly without a wipe at this
point.
24. Scroll down to "Flash zip from sdcard", and press the trackball.
25. Select the CyanogenMod update (update-cm-5.0.4.1-N1-signed.zip),
and press the trackball again to confirm. Wait until the flash is
complete. (Note: this will take a little while).
26. Once again, Scroll down to "Flash zip from sdcard", and press the trackball.
27. This time, select the Google Apps File
(gapps-passion-ERE36B-2-signed.zip), and press the trackball again to
confirm. Wait until the flash is complete.
28. Once you are back in the main menu, press the trackball select the
first option (Reboot system now) and reboot the phone.
29. If everything was done correctly, the phone should boot into CyanogenMod!

My few questions...
Do I really need SDK? I've been reading a lot, and some say use it, some don't mention it.
I've already found that some of his files are updated, so I'd be using the more recent ones.
Also, I'm thinking that I'm NOT going to mess with the radio. I don't have to, right?
ETA: And then I see that his post says nothing about superboot. Am I supposed to do both? Fastboot and then superboot?
And then another question... I plan on getting a 16gb class 6 sd card. Should I wait to do this until I get that? Will I have to do it all over again?
Thanks!!

I am by no means a pro at this, but to answer a a question or 2 of yours...
I never bothered using the SDK. I did download it, but like you, I followed other instructions that did not tell you to use the SDK.
The important part is to put all the downloaded files into your renamed "fastboot" folder, where fastboot will know where to look for it.
Concerning the radio, some ROMS may or may not require different radios, but for the simple process of rooting your phone, I'm pretty sure you're cool.
I used fastboot, but superboot (if I understand it correctly) is a total tool for your use. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it takes the place of all the steps you listed above, and does it all in one command.
Good luck! Its easy, and it sounds like you have all the tools you need!

1) I didn't flash a new radio when I rooted mine (didn't for a couple of weeks until I was comfortable with flashing and abd and stuff). The radio is evidently the greatest risk of bricking the phone.
2) I've typically seen "superboot" to refer to a rom image that modaco hosts that includes the superuser perms and apk and not as a tool (as fastboot is referred to). ymmv.

Unable to find device in RSDLite

Hi guys, I'm using Motorola Milestone and my bootloader is 90.78. I opened RSDLite and plug in the phone in bootloader mode but my RSDLite is unable to detect my device.
I have already installed the motorola drivers. Anyone has any ideas?

Same issue here. I have bootloader 90.74. On my Windows 7 there's no way...
Drivers 4.1 and 4.6 tested...but no way...

Anyone has any ideas about this issue?

Weird problem :s Works fine on my Win 7 VM. You could maybe try to uninstall and reinstall the driver :/

Some people have issues with RSDLite on Windows 7 64 bits.
I used to have the same problem and finally I had to install it on my netbook which has W7 32 bits and it worked fine.
Did you managed to install it in an other computer ?

The latest RSDLite versions didn't worked for either but version 4.5.3 works good under Windows 7 for me!

I found a solution
Like the rest, I too had the same problem. Then I found out how to make it work by accident.
I am using RSDlite version 4.5.7 on Windows 7 (32-bit version).
This is what you must do.
Step 1:
Download Open Recovery Version 1.46 for Milestone from http://www.modmymobile.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=28089
Step 2:
It is a rar file, so use any free software to extract out the contents of this OpenRecovery_v1_46_SHOLS.rar file to a new folder on your desktop.
After u have extracted it, look for a file called vulnerable_recovery.sbf. Copy out this vulnerable_recovery.sbf file to somewhere on your pc for example to the root of your C drive on your PC.
Step 3:
Download from this script to disable the recovery check for signed recovery menu (so that we can apply update.zip later) from
http://modmymobile.com/forums/attac...le-recovery-disable_recovery_check_by_ota.zip.
Unzip the file and there should be a file called Disable_recovery_check_by_OTA.sh
Step 4:
Copy the Disable_recovery_check_by_OTA.sh file to a sub folder called scripts that is within the OpenRecovery folder (which we have already extracted earlier) (eg. OpenRecovery\scripts).
Step 5:
Boot up the phone as per normal and then connect the phone to PC via USB cable
Step 6:
Change the USB Connection to Memory Card Accessl
Step 7:
Go to the desktop of your PC and open up the folder where the contents of the extracted OpenRecovery_v1_46_SHOLS.rar file is. You should then copy the update.zip to the root of your phone's SD card (eg. SDcard\update.zip).
Also copy the whole OpenRecovery folder also to the root level of your SD card (eg. SDcard\OpenRecovery)
Step 8:
Change the USB Connection to Portal & Tool. This is the trick that will allow RSDLite to detect your phone.
Step 9:
Launch RSDLite ver.4.5.7
Step 10:
It will take a few seconds for your phone to appear in the device list of RSDLite
Step 11:
Click on the "..." button and locate and open the vulnerable_recovery.sbf file which we have extracted earlier and had copied out to somewhere (eg. root of C drive).
Step 12:
Click on the "Start" button.
Step 13:
Immediately you would see something in the status progress of RSDlite. RSDlite will switch your phone to the Bootloader mode by itself.
Step 14: - Very Important Step
Pay attention to the status of the Bootloader on your phone. Halfway thru the progress of flashing the vulnerable_recovery.sbf, RSDlite will initiate a reboot of your phone.
When that happens, you must prevent the phone from rebooting into the normal Android mode and get it to boot into the Bootloader mode by quickly pressing & holding up on your D-pad in horizontal (landscape) position.
I would suggest that b4 RSDlite initiate the reboot, you should be prepared for it by sliding out the keyboard first and hold it in the horizontal (landscape) position and get ready to press up on the D-Pad.
by quickly turning your phone to the horizontal position (landscape) and press and hold up on the D-Pad of your phone. Hold the up key of your D-pad for about 3 to 4 seconds before release it and it should be now back in the bootloader mode.
Do not do anything yet. You will know when the flashing of the vulnerable_recovery.sbf is completed and successful when the result in RSDLite device list window says "PASS".
Step 15: - Also very important step
Once the flashing of the vulnerable_recovery.sbf is complete (after you see "PASS" in RSDlite), you may close RSDlite and then unplug the phone from the USB cable.
The phone is still in the bootloader mode. Now be prepared to boot into the recovery mode. This is very important. If you fail to boot into the recovery mode then you will have to repeat from Step 8
The technique that I use on my Motorola Milestone to boot into the recovery mode is by using the 3 button technique. I press the "x" key + power button + camera button together at the same time and hold it until the recovery mode icon appears which is a an exclamation mark within a triangle.
Step 16:
While in the recovery mode, slide the keyboard back in. Then press and hold the volume up button first and then press the camera button once and when you see the recovery menu you can quickly release the volume up button.
Step 17:
Slide the keyboard out. Use the D-pad to navigate. If you are holding the phone in vertical position, then to navigate up and down the recovery menu, just press up or down on the D-pad. To confirm your selection, press down on the middle of your D-Pad.
Using your D-Pad, scroll down to the part it says "apply sdcard:update.zip" and press the middle of your D-Pad to select it.
You should see something packages being downloaded to your phone which is part of the installation process of the Motorola Milestone Open Recovery Menu which is not the stock Recovery Menu.
Step 18:
Once you are in the Motorola Milestone Open Recovery Menu, scroll down to the option that says "Run Script". Select that option.
Step 19:
Then you should be able to see a list of scripts and one of them should be "Disable_recovery_check_by_OTA.sh". Select that script.
Step 20:
Once that "Disable_recovery_check_by_OTA.sh" has been applied, the phone will no longer check for signed recovery menus like this Motorola Milestone Open Recovery Menu when ever you go into the stock recovery menu to "apply sdcard:update.zip". This means you can install different types of "Open Recovery Menu" for different custom roms for Motorola Milestone.
Besides using this Motorola Milestone Open Recovery Menu, I have also tried the following 2 "Open Recovery Menu" on my Milestone:
1) Androidiani OpenRecovery 3.3 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=796679
2) G.O.T OpenRecovery (for installing G.O.T custom FROYO rom) - http://groupoften.wordpress.com/g-o-t-s-openrecovery/
Important Note:
Before you start to install custom roms please do a Nandroid back up of your phone in case something goes wrong during the installation of the custom rom, you can restore your phone back to stock rom.
The Nandroid back up and restore option is available within all 3 "Open Recovery Menu" mentioned above.

I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and I use Motorola USB Drivers 4.7.1 and RSD Lite 4.9. So it would be good to download these versions, which are the latest. If this wont work, do a factory reset on your Milestone.

[Guide] How to unlock Boot loader and flash custom ROMs.

Here's a guide to unlocking the bootloader, flash a recovery image, and install a custom ROM on your Incredible s.
If you're not experienced with this sort of thing I advise you get help or not do it at all. I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your phone, but it is highly rare that anything will go wrong
1. Go to www.htcdev.com and log in/create an account. When logged in, click on 'Unlock Bootloader'
Now simply follow the on screen instructions provided by HTC. Some of the process requires getting some files from the Android SDK and you will needs the HTC drivers which come with HTC Sync, but this will all be explained through the process.
Now as I said, you need some files from the SDK which you can get here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4263022/HTC Dev Tools.zip
I recommend putting these somewhere easy like the root of your C: drive in a folder called 'Android' like I will for the tutori. If you're still sure, select yes, and the process will complete.
2) you should see a little message pop up now asking if you'd like to go ahead and unlock the boot loader. Select yes.
3. Once done, your phone's bootloader will be unlocked, this will enable you to flash a recovery image.
4. Go to
http://download2.clockworkmod.com/re...0.2.0-vivo.img
and download the recovery image for the Incredible S. Put it in the "android" folder with the other files needed for the unlock process. This file is the ClockWorkMod recovery for the incredible s.
5. Shut down your phone. Plug it in via USB to your PC which you set up during the HTC unlock process. Hold volume down, and press power and the phone will boot into the bootloader. Wait for it to scan your SD card, then ensure "Fastboot" is highlighted and press power.
6. On your PC, load up a command prompt - open the Start menu, go to Run, and type "cmd".
7. In the command prompt window, type the following, assuming the HTC unlock files are all in C:android.
Code:
cd c:android
Then type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <recovery_name.img>
Don't forget the .img on the end, and replace "recovery_name" with the specific name of the recovery image you want to use. For ClockWorkMod linked to in step 4, you'd type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-vivo.img
After a few seconds, ClockWordMod will have been flashed to your phone.
8. Reboot your phone, there should be an option in the fastboot menu (volume up and down to navigate, power to select). It should boot as per normal. Put it into USB disk mode, and download a ROM that you'd like to use. CyanogenMod is what I'm going to use: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices/htc-incredible-s
Download the ROM and place it in the root of your SD card
9. Power off the phone. Hold volume down and press power to boot back into the bootloader. Use volume down to select "Recovery" and press power. ClockWorkMod recovery will load.
10. Using volume up/down and power to select, go down to Backup/Restore. Select it, then click backup. ClockWorkMod will backup your stock ROM in case there are any needs to switch back.
11. After that (takes about 5 minutes), go back to the main menu. Select wipe data/factory reset and confirm. Go back to the main menu, select Advanced > Wipe Dalvik cache
12. Go to the main menu, and select "Install zip from sdcard". Next choose "Select Zip from SD card" and select the ROM you'd like to install. Confirm this action, and ClockWorkMod will install your new ROM. When done, shut down your phone.
13. Ordinarily you'd be done after that, and you could boot into your new ROM. However HBOOT 1.16 does some random stuff and tends to cause problems. I think it interferes with the installation of the boot.img that ordinarily would be flashed with the ROM. Get the ROM that you downloaded earlier (CyanogenMod in this tutorial), and on your computer, unzip the file somewhere. Once done, inside you'll see a file called "boot.img". Put this in the same folder as your other Android tools that you used earlier. Power your phone on, hold volume down, but don't choose "recovery", choose "usb fastboot".
14. Open up your command prompt again (Start > Run > "cmd"), and type (using the "android" folder for this example):
Code:
cd c:android
fastboot flash boot boot.img
This will flash the boot.img to your phone.
Power off the phone, reboot it, and that should be it!
If this helps please leave a thank you.
Good luck

[ROOT Stock ICS] The easiest way...

Ok this is taken from the HTC SPAIN site (Im only translating it)
1.- Download both files at the bottom:
2.-You will need to install the OMAP4430 drivers (they are inside the file you just download)
a) open device manager
b) Connect the phone to usb with out the battery,
c) you will see "omap4430 device" appearing and disappearing
d) as soon as you see it right click on it and chose proprieties
e) click on the drivers tab and select update driver
f) select the driver on the folder "usb_drv_windows" from the file you downloaded and install them
g) wait till it finish installing them
[Edited by pete3000 to make the process more understandable]
3.- now run the file "Instalar Recovery ICS Europeo.bat" then:
a) Connect the USB cable from the phone to the PC without the battery
b) Wait until the message "Wait 5-Seconds...", then put the battery in.
c) Wait until installation is complete and you see the green screen and the message.
------------------------------
Installed recovery!
Please remove the USB cable
------------------------------
d)Now you can disconnect the cable USB, remove the battery, return the battery, and boot the phone.
4.- Copy the "Su_Bbox_1.20.2_gazhead_signed.zip" file to memory (either internal or external SD card) and install it with in CWM
5. to boot into Clockwork Mod, shut the phone down all the way
a) hold down the 3D button, the VOL DOWN and POWER at the same time. (some say hit vol up but this didn't work for me)
b) when the backlight comes on the screen, let go of the power and vol DOWN ONLY, keeping the 3D held down until you see the clockworkmod touch interface come up.
c) choose install zip from sdcard
find the Su_Bbox_1.20.2_gazhead_signed.zip file using the vol + and - keys.. then scroll downpast the No's to the YES and tap it on the screen.
And you will have a rooted ISC V30B
Enjoy!

i followed this quide but now when i boot up i have greyd in lg logo is there a way to get rid of this or?

I wish this was as easy as you make it sound. When i plug my phone into the computer with no battery in, device manager takes 5 seconds or so to load the devices again, and by that time, there is no omap option to select. Is the omap driver messed up, maybe we could modify it to work without the device manager work around

did you need to have the normal lg drivers installed also, mine stays at the grey lg logo, and the pc seem to be finding all the other device that need drivers.
Omap4boot stays at a blue screen " waiting for device "never turns green, does it normally complete everything at the grey lg logo?

ok got it working there was a 2nd device in device manager i had to manually direct to the same driver folder....

Again, it would have been easier if the BAT file was written in English. maybe some dev on here can update it. I would also like to see them use the adb capabilities and install the su, so you dont have to go into CWM to install it.
Now we need an update to WIFI Tether, unless someone finds a successful combination in the program for setting it up. it had settings for the thrill 4g running froyo and gingerbread.

Thanks all this worked great. I'm also looking for a tehering hotspot fix.

!! IMPORTANT!! be careful using ROM MANAGER with rooting your phone w/this method
The Clockworkmod recovery this bat file uses is a little bit old and has a "reboot" bug. To avoid it, Do not install the ROM MANAGER on google play and immediately boot to the CWM. ROM MANAGER sets a trigger that keeps rebooting into the old CWM and never back to the regular OS. It's officially called the Clockworkmod reboot loop
To fix this, I used this tool which launches a .BAT file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2144738 similar to the one you rooted with above. you will need to update the clockwork mode to version 6.0.1.9 (option 5). i also flashed the ICS boot loaders too (option 8).
when i rebooted the phone a new version of CWM showed up and all i had to do was reboot thru CWM. And i was back to the at&t boot screen.

So are you running ICS or GB? Option 5 is for GB. Just double checking before I follow your lead.

Nevermind... I did the update with ICS and it worked fine. The only difference I see is you will need to hold down the power button and vol down longer when you boot it into CWM. If you release the power button and vol down button as soon as you see the back light it shuts down instead of boot.

I made an attempt to edit the settings.db , hoping to regain my hotspot functionality.. No luck the phone hung during boot. So I decide to factory reset it. Now there is no entitlement entries in the settings.db. The file is much smaller. I'm guessing the carrier has moved the wifi entitlement to another db.

i found a wifi tether post for ICS in the O3D area, but it didnt work either..
i saw this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181555 but his settings didn't work. I hope someone can help us with it soon. i filed a bug report to the actual wifi router site.

I got hotspot working. I'll send details after I get home this evening.

Hi Pete. Personally i had a problem with the easy form of rooting the stock ICS, because i got the clockwork mod loop when i tried to go back into a factory reset.
Can i Use your method with a stock ICS in my thrill?
Another question is, Have any body fix the movie player missed function in ICS? because in GB i can play any 3D movie, whatever the format and can change it.
Thanks for your time

yes. I used it with stock ICS from AT&T/LG.
for 3D movies, open the movie in the stock player. you will see a side by side version of the movie. Hit the 3D button then hit the the settings button to choose side-by-side.

When i plug my phone into the computer with no battery in, device manager takes 5 seconds or so to load the devices again, and by that time, there is no omap option to select. Is the omap driver messed up, maybe we could modify it to work without the device manager work around

Please hold Vol - while you're plugging the phone in, hold it down whilst you are in Device Manager, something should pop up stating OMAP-344 Or whatever the number shows up as.

3.6 - Wait the phone to reboot and enjoy your rooted device!
3.7 - Press Thanks if i helped :good:

You've come a long way in a short time...
But your tutorial needs a proper proof-read. Did you walk through these steps yourself to make sure that the instructions are correct?
"SuperSU Beta 2.66" - why not the newest version?
"Usb Cable ,preferably micro-usb" - what other type will fit?
Step 1.0 You haven't mentioned in big red capital underlined letters "This will wipe your phone".
Step 1.4 "then you have to restart the phone normally" - why, since the next step is "Put your phone into bootloader mode"?
Step 2.1 "Put your phone into bootloader mode , power off the device and put it into bootloader mode" doesn't really make sense.
Step 2.4 You haven't mentioned in big red capital underlined letters "This will wipe your phone".
Step 3.2 says "rename it into "cwm.img"" and the following flash command refers to "zip".
Step 3.3 "type "flash recovery cwm.zip"" - wrong. "Fastboot flash recovery cwm.img".
But kudos for writing the tutorial and posting it as a help to others. Can you correct at least the errors so that new users don't get in a mess? And this time I suggest that you then walk through it step by step to be sure that you've got it all right.

Here is the complete guide for update to the latest firmware for those who have rooted phone:

I think it is sufficient and complete ...

Really? I still see v2.66, "preferably micro-USB"... I stopped reading after that.
And you haven't confirmed that you've walked through the instructions to test that they now work.
Have you heard the saying "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing"?
And finally a general message - maybe I should add it to my signature:
(P.S. A plea to everyone in these forums. Don't reply to a simple 1-page thread post copying the entire post to which you're replying. I've already read the original - I don't need to read it again. Copy the original post only where necessary - e.g. if it's on a previous page. And even then copy only the point to which you're replying, not the entire post. The result will be clearer and shorter threads which will be more enjoyable to read.)

While we do appreciate your effort , the guide is incomplete and incoherent.
It might brick phones of new users.
