Onemsomic's ICS 3.1RC no GPS lock!

I wanted to ask this in the actual thread but 10 post limit...
Anyway,
I can't get any GPS lock on my I9000, Onemsomic's ICS RC3.1, JVU modem.
I tried changing the NetworkLocation.apk by following this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21351809#post21351809
but since I have absolutely no idea how to use ADB I couldn't do the "change mode to 0644" step.
Someone help a noob?
Thanks.

Well, first off, download the *.apk provided in that post and place it on the sdcard.
adb is a command line tool, so you must insert those commands on a terminal emulator (maybe you got one installed, if not, download one from the market, I can recommend "Android Terminal Emulator").
So, open your terminal emulator and go to the directory where you placed your *.apk. this example has been wrote with the *.apk in the sdcard folder:
Code:
su
cd /mnt/sdcard
adb start-server
adb remount
adb push NetworkLocation.apk /system/app/NetworkLocation.apk
adb chmod 0644 /system/app/NetworkLocation.apk
adb reboot
Note: I wrote this example following my common sense, so I'm not completely sure if this will work!
Cheers!

Well I have been looking here and there, and I found that adb doesn't work directly on the phone, you must use adb from your pc. So, this is what you should do from now on:
Install Java SDK
Install Android SDK
Turn on "USB Debugging" in your SGS settings
Connect the Device to the PC
And finally, use the following commands (from the PC):
Code:
// Go to the folder where you put the *.apk
cd C:\users\exampleuser\Documents\ // or /home/exampleuser/Documents/ if you're using linux
adb start-server
adb remount
adb push NetworkLocation.apk /system/app/NetworkLocation.apk
adb chmod 0644 /system/app/NetworkLocation.apk
adb reboot
Note:
The text after the double-slash ( // ), must not be written in the console, they are just comments
You need to install the SDK's because there it is where the adb tool (and tools needed by adb) is found, so, good luck!

[Q] [Help needed] Fastboot doesn't provide token ID to unlock the bootloader

Guys, I have a problem with my HTC One M7. I am trying to unlock the bootloader using the HTCDev guide (available at htcdev site).
But suddenly I am not able to complete Step 8 (running command "fastboot oem get_identifier_token").
Command "fastboot devices" shows my phone in a fastboot mode:
\> fastboot devices
mt6589_phone_720pv2 fastboot
But none of fastboot oem commands executes successfully (including "get_identifier_token").
Instead I get only three dots ("...") and nothing changes after that:
\> fastboot oem get_identifier_token
...
Other commands (like fastboot reboot) function, but not "fastboot oem get_identifier_token". I can't unlock my bootloader, could you please help!

Never seen that before but since we have S-off now you can unlock the bootloader without HTCDev
check out the revone thread in the Original Development section.

If you're using Windows 8, I would use the following link that I've seen floating around here"
http://plugable.com/2012/12/01/windows-8-and-intel-usb-3-0-host-controllers
I had issues getting the token for mine until I used that guide to convert my Microsoft USB 3.0 drivers into Intel drivers.

Thanks for this advice, I am now trying to do it with revone.
I have successfully pushed the file to the phone, but when executing adb shell commands I get a error:
"- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory"
How to fix it?

Not sure, but the folks in that thread are super helpful
you're in an ADB shell when you execute the command?

Yes, I am now reading that thread to find the answer.
Here's what i do and what I get:
> adb devices
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF recovery
> adb push revone /data/local/tmp/
4584 KB/s (648208 bytes in 0.138s)
>adb shell cd /data/local/tmp
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) nRet(-1) -

Start the shell. Then do the cd command separately

Is the phone in recovery or booted up? Needs to be booted

It was in recovery mode - my mistake, thank you for pointing.
I have booted it and executed the needed commands, but still another mistake:
>sudo adb shell
[email protected]:/ # cd /data/local/tmp
[email protected]:/data/local/tmp # chmod 755 revone
[email protected]:/data/local/tmp # ./revone -P
revone v0.2.1
revone failed (error code = 1)
1|[email protected]:/data/local/tmp #
Step by step I am coming closer to the result, thanks so much for your help

phone has to be rooted -- tested and working with HTC One X
1. boot in FASTBOOT and check CID , start cmd type
Code:
fastboot getvar all
2. start phone normally, enable usb debugging
3. start CMD type:
Code:
adb pull system/customize/CID/default.xml
4. rename saved file "default.xml" to "your_cid.xml" // my cid was HTC__Y13 so it will be HTC__Y13.xml
5. start CMD type:
Code:
adb push your_cid.xml/sdcard/
6. start CMD type:
Code:
adb shell
su (tap grant access on your htc screen)
mount -o remount,rw /system
cat /sdcard/your_cid.xml > /system/customize/CID/your_cid.xml
exit
exit
7. do factory reset

[Q] change "relocked" to "locked" when putting phone back to stock?

[Q] change "relocked" to "locked" when putting phone back to stock?
I followed this thread but mine says "relocked" and it still says S-OFF. is it possible to get it to say "locked" without going through the whole process of unlocking, rooting, and using revone again?
I'm sending my phone back to get the screen replaced which isn't under warranty, so does it even matter that it says "relocked?"

Use revone -l to change back to "locked"

There is not a way without rerooting for Tue device to day say locked and not relocked BUT you can easily get rid of S-Off. It doesn't take long either...
1.) Reroot.
2.) Download revone to computer.
3.) Navigate Using Command Prompt to where revone file is located on computer and move the Downloaded file to /data/local/tmp using the command "adb push revone /data/local/tmp" without quotations while phone is booted into OS and connected to computer.
3.) Use Command Prompt with phone connected to computer to run these commands or you can use Terminal Emulator app without a computer but will need a computer later on to run RUU again...
3A.) adb shell
3B.) su(SU Will Now Request SU Access For ADB Shell, Grant It)
3C.) cd /data/local/tmp
3D.) chmod 755 revone
4.) Reboot device
5.) Once device is fully booted back up run these commands again while connected to computer
5A.) adb shell
5B.) su(Will Not Need To Request Access Again)
5C.) cd /data/local/tmp
5D.) ./revone -P(If It Tells You "No Need To Reboot" Then Move On To Step 7 And If It Tells You To "Reboot To Continue" Move On To Step 6).
6.) Reboot
7.) Once fully booted back into OS open another command prompt and run these commands with Command Prompt while connected to computer.
7A.) adb shell
7B.) su
7C.) cd /data/local/tmp
7D.) ./revone -s 0 -u(To Be Safe).
7E.) Reboot
8.) Once again open another command prompt window and run these commands
8A.) adb shell
8B.) su
8C.) cd /data/local/tmp
8D.) ./revone -t -l
9.) Reboot
10.) Run RUU And Allow It To Successfully Complete.
11.) Once booted back into OS open command prompt and type in the final two commands
11A.) adb reboot bootloader
12.) Once it boots into bootloader and recognizes device type in this command
12A.) fastboot oem writesecureflag e

[how to]lock/unlock your bootloader without htcdev(s-off required)

READ THIIS!
*this thread is for desire 510. it will NOT work on m7,or any older device. please check the general forum for your particular device for a similar thread.
this thread will let you unlock your bootloader without htcdev,or let you change your hboot watermark from relocked or unlocked back to stock.
advantages
-no hassle with htcdev,tokens,or unlock codes
-no submitting your phones personal info to htc
-the ability to get back to 100% stock without any visual traces or records of having been s off or unlocking your bootloader.
*you must be s off.
*you must have superuser installed
read this:
this will not work if your s on. its not a way to magically unlock
the usual disclaimers:
use this info at your own risk. if it melts your phone into a little pile of plastic goo,its not my fault.
credits
-beaups for schooling me on echo comand protocol
-strace for originally discovering the location of the lock status flag(check out this thread for more info)
*i have tested this on my gsm cricket desire 510 variant(a11_ul). let me know if you try it on a different variant,or if youd like to dump partitions and have me take a look
IF you are an advanced user with adb/fastboot set up and some basic knowlede of the cmd window,you can skip to #2
1)set up adb(windows 7 and older)
-download this file
-install drivers: if you have htc sync installed,you should allready have drivers. if not,you can install htc sync,or install these modified htc drivers from revolutionary (driver mirror)
-unzip your miniadb_v1031.zip file. this is native funtionality in windows 7. you otherwise may need a utility such as "7-zip" to extract,or unzip it. place the unzipped folder onto the root of your C drive on your PC. root means the top level,not inside any folders. so just copy and paste,or drag and drop the folder onto C with everything else that is there. you may want to rename it to "miniadb_m7" since youll be putting some device specific files in here.
-open a command window. on windows 7,click the start bubble in the lower left and type "command" in the search box. xp i believe is similar or the same. doing this should open a small black command window.
-change to your miniadb_m7 directory. type the following at the prompt in your cmd window:
cd c:\miniadb_m7
your command promt should change to "c:miniadb_m7>" provided you: 1)unzipped the miniadb_v1031 zip file,and 2)put the folder on your c drive,and 3)entered the name of the folder correctly ("miniadb_m7" in this case)
-now make sure usb debugging is checked in developer options(you will need to turn it on first),and plug your phone into your PC with a usb cable
-make sure your phone is being recognized- type:
adb devices
if your drivers are installed correctly,this should return your phones serial number. you should hear the "found device" noises when you plug your phone in. if it starts installing drivers,wait for it to finish before typing the adb devices command.
if you get your serial number back,then enter this command:
adb reboot bootloader
this should take your phone to the "fastboot" screen,wich is white with colored letters. this is one mode of your bootloaders interactive modes. at the top youll see fastboot devices as confirmation youre in fastboot.
now enter:
fastboot devices
again,this should return your phones serial number. you should hear the "found device" noises when you plug your phone in. if it starts installing drivers,wait for it to finish before typing the adb devices command.
if you get your serial number back,you can enter the following to boot back to the phones OS:
fastboot reboot
and now,youve installed adb/fastboot and tested youre phones drivers. if at either spot,you have trouble and dont get your serial number back,there is some sort of connection issue. use these steps to troubleshoot:
troubleshooting connectivity issues:
-try a reboot of the PC
-try different usb cables and ports
-dont use a usb hub
-dont use usb 3.0
-make sure nothing capable of comunicating with the phone is enabled and running. htc sync,pdanet,easy tether,and even itunes have all been known to cause issues.
-windows 8 has been known to have issues. try a windows 7 or older machine
failing the above,
-i use these drivers for fastboot and adb(donwload and run as admin): http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe (mirror)
failing that,try manually updating the drivers in the following manner:
-put the phone in fastboot mode(select fastboot from the hboot menu)
-open device manager on the PC
-plug in phone,watch for it to pop up in device manager.
-update drivers with device manager,pointing the wizard to the extracted
driver download folder from above
note that you can check the connectivity of the phone,and make sure drivers are working by in the following manner:
-open cmd window. change to directory containing adb/fastboot utilities
-adb with the phone in the booted OS,usb debug enabled,enter:
adb devices in a cmd window
-fastboot with phone in fastboot,enter:
fastboot devices in cmd window
in either case,a properly connected phone with working drivers installed should report back the phones serial number.
